Tony Wroten had a very unfortunate holiday season this year this year. After just recently recovering from a torn ACL, Wroten was released by the Philadelphia 76ers on Christmas Eve so that the team could make room for Ish Smith, who was acquired in a trade with the New Orleans Pelicans.
Wroten was supposed to be in competition for the starting point guard position, but was beaten out by the likes of T.J. McConnell who had an incredible start to his season, as well as his counterpart Kendall Marshall who was recovering from his own injury alongside Wroten.
