The 76ers have officially signed guard Grant Riller to a two-way contract, the team announced in a press release.
Riller, 24, is 6-foot-2 and spent last season on a two-way deal with the Hornets. The 56th overall pick in 2020, he divided his time between the Hornets and Greensboro Swarm of the G League.
The news of his signing comes after the 76ers’ announcement that they had waived Rayjon Tucker, freeing up a two-way slot earlier this month.
Riller appeared in seven games with the Hornets, averaging 2.6 points as a rookie after going undrafted out of Charleston. He will wear No. 5 with Philadelphia.
Players on two-way contracts can appear in up to 50 games in the NBA. Undrafted rookie small forward Aaron Henry holds the 76ers’ other two-way spot.
