The Philadelphia 76ers signed forward Shawn Long to a 10-day contract March 6, and the deal expires Wednesday night. The Sixers can offer another 10-day contract or let him go Thursday. When asked about Long's status, head coach Brett Brown implied that the team will probably extend the forward's time with the Sixers.
"It wouldn't surprise me," Brown told The Philadelphia Inquirer. "I have no desire personally to look elsewhere."
Long initially signed with the Sixers in July but was released Oct. 24 when the team set its opening-night roster for the 2016-17 season.
