Source: Sixers to sign PG Chasson Randle to 10-day contract

The Sixers are using their empty roster spot to sign point guard Chasson Randle to a 10-day contract on Tuesday, a league source confirmed. 

The Vertical first reported the signing.

The Sixers opened the roster spot last week by waiving shooting guard Hollis Thompson, bringing the roster to 14.

The 6-foot-2, 185-pound Randle is leading the Westchester Knicks in scoring this season. In December he posted back-to-back games with 38 and 36 points.

Randle went undrafted in 2015 after a four-year career at Stanford.

He spent last season overseas with CEZ Nymburk of the National Basketball League in the Czech Republic. Randle averaged 12.0 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists while shooting 47.3 percent from three.

The Sixers have had a need at the one-spot since projected starting point guard Jerryd Bayless underwent season-ending wrist surgery. He appeared in only three games, and the Sixers turned to backup Sergio Rodriguez to start. Rodriguez, though, recently missed three games with an ankle sprain (he returned Sunday), which pushed third option T.J. McConnell into the starting lineup.
