As undrafted rookie Justin Edwards has earned his way into playing time, the wing who’s found himself on the outside looking in at the Sixers’ wing rotation has been Ricky Council IV.
So much so that he was sent down for an assignment with the Delaware Blue Coats back on Jan. 26, even after Paul George got hurt again the day before.
“I know it seemed kind of weird that he ended up in Delaware earlier the other day,” head coach Nick Nurse said later in the week. Nurse explained he felt it important for Council to still get minutes somewhere to feel more confident and comfortable in his role.
