With five picks in this week’s NBA Draft, the Philadelphia 76ers have plenty of options.
One thing is for sure, forward Dario Saric, the 12th overall pick in last year’s draft, will not suit up for the Sixers this season.
Saric, a 6-foot-10, 230-pound forward acquired in a draft-night trade during last year’s draft, is under contract with Anadolu Efes in Turkey.
The Sixers were unable to reach a buyout with Anadolu earlier this month, which leaves Saric in Turkey for at least the upcoming season.
A player option will allow him to possibly join the NBA after next season.
The 21-year-old averaged 10.8 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 27 games for Anadolu.
