And as 2018 begins, the Philadelphia 76ers exercise a roster “housecleaning” of sorts. On one hand, guard Jacob Pullen, who signed a two-way contract for the Philadelphia 76ers on October 16, 2017, made the news today. On the other hand, somewhat ironically, one of the first acts for 2018 from the front office was to release him. He participated on the team’s summer league and five preseason games. In that time, Pullen averaged just 6.8 minutes, 2.8 points and one assist per game over the the team’s five preseason games.
As a matter of fact, the Philadelphia 76ers use of a two-way contract to retain Pullen surprised many.
