Sixers to sign Saben Lee to two-way deal, waive Michael Foster Jr.
The Philadelphia 76ers are coming off an impressive win over the Brooklyn Nets in a game they had no business winning considering they were missing their three best players and then lost a key rotational piece in the second half.
After the game, the Sixers made a minor roster move. They waived one of their two-way players, rookie Michael Foster Jr., and they signed Saben Lee. The 2-year guard out of Vanderbilt spent his first two seasons with the Detroit Pistons and he averaged 5.6 points and 3.3 assists in 85 games with seven starts in Detroit.
Lee was traded to the Utah Jazz in the Bojan Bogdanovic deal in the offseason before he was then waived. He will now look to make an impact with the Sixers after two nondescript seasons in Detroit.
The Sixers will be signing Saben Lee to a two-way deal, sources told ESPN. To clear the spot for him, they’ll be waiving Michael Foster Jr., who if he clears waivers will be eligible to play for their G-League team.

Considering the Sixers are down so many ball handlers, bringing in Lee makes sense and it will be interesting to see if he’s with the team when they face the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday.
