Woj adds that the Sixers have been very active in the veteran buyout market trying to find a center to play behind Joel Embiid. The team has tried to insert Montrezl Harrell into that spot but its proved to be square peg in round hole situation. Dedmon has played the past 3 seasons with the Heat. He’s averaged 5.7 PPG and 5.8 RPG this season coming off the bench.
