76ers waive Jones-Jennings
options
 

The 76ers announced this morning that they have waived Rashad Jones-Jennings. The team had signed Jones-Jennings, a 6-foot-8 power forward, as a free agent last week during the middle of training camp.

The Sixers training camp roster now stands at 17 players, 13 of whom are under contract. The team practices today at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine before flying to London, Ontario, where they will play the Toronto Raptors tomorrow night.

    If he was only on the team for about a week, how much did they probably pay him? I wonder what the going rate is for temporary roster spot holders like this.
