The Philadelphia 76ers assigned Nerlens Noel to the Delaware 87ers of the NBA Development League today.
The move is for health reasons. The assignment is part of Noel’s ongoing rehabilitation program for his left knee.
According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, “the move is similar to what Jerryd Bayless did on Nov. 14 to get in some practice time. The Sixers will host the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night at the Wells Fargo Center. As a result, there won’t be a practice opportunity for Noel. He will practice down there on Wednesday.”
In a related move, the team has recalled Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot from the Sevens.
