The Philadelphia 76ers have the option to bring back Trey Burke ahead of the NBA’s resumption in Orlando.
The Philadelphia 76ers waived Trey Burke earlier this season to make room for Norvel Pelle, who signed a full-scale rookie contract. At the time, it made perfect sense — Burke was becoming inconsequential, whereas Pelle could become a valuable reserve for years to come.
But, as the NBA’s resumption of play in Orlando inches closer, the Sixers will have the opportunity to revisit their dismissal of Burke. From June 23 through June 30, teams have the option to waive and sign players, as long as they were on the roster at some point in 2019-20.
