PHILADELPHIA - Former Temple University men's basketball standout Shizz Alston, Jr. signed a contract with the Philadelphia 76ers Saturday, but is expected to be waived and play with the franchise's G League team, the Delaware Blue Coats, this season.
Alston had played most recently with the Indiana Pacers in the 2019 NBA Summer League.
The 6-4 guard had a record-setting senior campaign for the Owls, earning First Team All-American Athletic Conference and All-Big 5 honors while leading the Owls to a 23-10 record and a trip to the NCAA Tournament during the 2018-19 campaign.
