The reserve small forward missed the first nine games of the season with a strained left hamstring. He will be on a 10-minute restriction.
Chandler, who's in the final year of his contract, reminds Sixers coach Brett Brown of players who are "multipurpose defensively and offensively."
The 6-foot-9, listed 225-pounder can play both forward positions and switch off and defend shooting guards. Right now, he'll just back up small forward Robert Covington until his minutes increase after getting into optimum game shape.
"He's sort of a quiet achiever, but he's physical," coach Brett Brown said of Chandler.
