Christmas accepts invite
Temple's Dionte Christmas has accepted an invitation from the 76ers to join their summer league team in Orlando. Christmas, who was projected as a second-round pick but went undrafted, will join Sixers pick Jrue Holiday and last year's first-round pick Marreese Speights on the summer league roster.
The Sixers are combining with the New Jersey Nets to form a team for the Orlando Pro Summer League, to be played July 6-10 at the RDV Sportsplex in Orlando, Florida.
