The Philadelphia 76ers are planning to waive guard George Hill, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Hill had a partial guarantee on next season's contract.

The Sixers traded big man Tony Bradley and future second-round picks in 2025 and 2026 for George Hill back in March. It was a premium price paid for Hill, who was out at the time with a thumb injury, but it did seem worth then because of his playoff resume and ability to play off the ball next to a player like Ben Simmons, or on with reserve units.
