Sixers release roster for summer league team

The 76ers shouldn't have any chemistry issues in the Orlando Pro Summer League.

The team released its summer league roster Tuesday. There are four pairs of former teammates among the 13 players on the squad.

Guard Justin Holiday and power forward Arnett Moultrie both spent at least a portion of last season as Sixers rookies.

Point guard Michael Carter-Williams, the Sixers' first-round draft pick last Thursday, played at Syracuse with undrafted rookie forward James Southerland.

Undrafted rookie guard Khalif Wyatt was a Temple teammate of power forward/center Micheal Eric, who played last season for the Canton Charge of the NBA Development League. Then there are undrafted rookie forwards Rodney Williams and Trevor Mbakwe, who were stars at Minnesota.

The summer league runs Sunday through July 12 at the Orlando Magic's practice court at the Amway Center. The Boston Celtics, Brooklyn Nets, Detroit Pistons, Houston Rockets, Indiana Pacers, Miami Heat, Oklahoma City Thunder, and Utah Jazz are also participating.

The Sixers open play against the Rockets on Sunday.

The Sixers roster will include second-round draft pick and former Oregon forward Arsalan Kazemi, point guard D.J. Cooper (Ohio), center Zeke Marshall (Akron), guard Travis Leslie (Santa Cruz Warriors of the NBDL), and power forward Brook Motum (Washington State). Cooper, Marshall, and Motum are all undrafted rookie free agents.
