OAKLAND - The 76ers today waived Gordan Giricek, the 6-5 swingman acquired from the Utah Jazz in the trade for Kyle Korver.
By waiving Giricek, the Sixers will save about $300,000 in payroll. Once he clears the 48-hour waiver period, he is expected to sign for the remainder of the season with the Phoenix Suns.
To be playoff eligible, he had to be waived by midnight tomorrow.
The move leaves the Sixers with 14 players, one below the NBA limit. They are not expected to add anyone
