Sources: Emeka Okafor to join Sixers' G League team with hopes of playing in NBA again

Emeka Okafor has agreed to play for the Philadelphia 76ers' G League team, the Delaware 87ers, in hopes of signing with an NBA team in the coming months, league sources told ESPN.

Okafor, the second overall pick in the 2004 NBA draft, was in training camp with the 76ers before the club waived him on Saturday.

Okafor, 35, hasn't played in the NBA since the beginning of the 2013-14 season, due to a herniated disk in his neck. Okafor, the 2005 NBA Rookie of the Year, was medically cleared to play five months ago.
