Report: Dario Saric To Join Sixers This Offseason
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Finally, he's coming.
According to overseas basketball report David Pick, Dario Saric has told his teammates in Turkey that he will join the Philadelphia 76ers this offseason.
Saric, 22, was the 76ers' 12th overall pick in 2014, but spent the last two seasons playing in Turkey. The 6-10, 220-pound forward seems to be finally read to play in the NBA.
The Sixers will look to add Saric and 2014 No. 3 overall pick Joel Embiid -- who has battled foot injuries -- to a roster with Nerlens Noel and Jahlil Okafor. Plus, Philly has the best chance at the No. 1 overall pick, and could have up to four first-round selections in this summer's NBA draft.
Saric is averaging 11.3 points and 5.8 rebounds in 23 minutes per game, playing in 47 games total this season.
