The Sixers were unable to reach a buyout with Anadolu Efes and Dario Saric, as they reportedly tried to earlier this month, leaving Saric in Turkey for at least on more season.
With Dario Saric's season in Turkey ending this past Friday, speculation can now end about the chance of the point forward moving stateside and playing in the NBA in the 2015-16 season, as ESPN's Chad Ford reported this morning that Saric's agent, Jeff Schwartz, confirmed that the Croatian native would not be playing for the 76ers this year.
When the team drafted Saric one year ago this week, knowing he had signed a contract with Anadolu Efes in Turkey beforehand, it seemed unlikely that anyone would see Saric in a Sixers jersey until 2016 at the earliest.
