    Sixers wavie Sam Clancy

    Philadelphia 76ers President and General Manager Billy King announced today that the Sixers have waived forward Sam Clancy. The Sixers roster stands at 15.

    In six preseason games, Clancy averaged 3.5 points and 4.5 rebounds in 16.0 minutes.

    A second round selection (45th pick overall) in the 2002 NBA Draft by the 76ers, Clancy spent the entire 2002-03 season on the injured list rehabbing a left knee injury suffered in a pre-draft workout with the Phoenix Suns on May 13, 2002. Clancy had surgery on his left knee on May 22, 2003, performed by L.A. Lakers physician Dr. Steven Lombardo to repair a left patella dislocation.

    The 6-foot-7, 240-pound forward finished his collegiate career at University of Southern California (1998-02) as the Trojan?s all-time leader in blocked shots (195) and ranked second in rebounding (839), third in scoring (1,657) and fifth in steals (134). The 2002 PAC-10 Player of the Year was originally an early-entry candidate for the 2001 NBA Draft, but withdrew his name from consideration prior to the draft, returning for his fourth season with the Trojan?s.

    That is the reason they moved him, because he was injury prone. Thus the reason McCaskill got in, we'll have to see how he does.
