Philadelphia 76ers fans were buzzing early Thursday morning after a report surfaced linking the Sixers to Sergio Rodriguez. EuroHoops.net, a common hub for Euroleague news, stated that Rodriguez was close to signing onto a three-year, $12 million extension with the team — an odd turn of events after he received an offer sheet from CSKA Moscow.
That report, however, was false, according to Liberty Ballers’ Jake Pavorsky:
The Sixers letting Rodriguez return to Europe was almost a foregone conclusion once the season ended, which made this report somewhat concerning once it came to light.
