Philadelphia 76ers upgrade from Jonah Bolden to Norvel Pelle

It seems early to give up on Jonah Bolden — he’s a former UCLA star turned productive overseas talent, and he spent significant time in the rotation as a rookie. And yet, a stark lack of improvement and the emergence of Norvel Pelle left Bolden’s days numbered. The number finally hit zero this morning.

According to The Athletic’s Derek Bodner, the Philadelphia 76ers have waived Bolden to make room for Pelle on the 15-man roster. Pelle’s contract is for the rest of this reason and next season, with a 2020-21 guarantee date of July 6.
