Does he have anything left in the tank? 11 games played last season after the ACL/LCL tear... idk. Low risk deal for the Sixers, but I feel like it doesn't really move the needle at this point.

Makes me wonder if there's any part of this that is gratitude for previous effort. Like "sorry we traded you after you were injured, here's one more chance."

I don't think it does much

Yeah I don't think they're expecting that he be moving the needle as far as minutes played and making an impact on games. I'm sure he'll see some minutes here and there, but I wouldn't expect him to be an integral part of the rotation.

I do think the main thought behind this may be more on the bench and locker room front. Danny won a championship under Nick Nurse, and he's also close with many of the Sixers players.
