Sixers Waive Andres Nocioni

By Spike Eskin

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – The Sixers have waived forward Andres Nocioni, the team announced today.

"We want to sincerely thank Andres for his contributions to our team and maintaining a true level of professionalism throughout his time here," Sixers President of Basketball Operations Rod Thorn said via press release. "We wish him the best of luck as he pursues future opportunities."

Nocioni was acquired in a trade with the Sacramento Kings that sent Sam Dalembert in exchange for Nocioni and center Spencer Hawes.

After starting for the team early in the 2010-'11 season, Nocioni has been rarely used, playing just 56 minutes total during the 2011-'12 season.

The Sixers next game is Wednesday night against the New York Knicks.
