Sixers waive Charles Bassey and Isaiah Joe as they work to get roster to 15 players

Charles Bassey appeared in just one of the Sixers’ four exhibition games, while Isaiah Joe made two appearances. The team released both players Thursday morning.

Doc Rivers was asked if there was anything to read into Isaiah Joe and Charles Bassey being the only two 76ers held out of Wednesday’s preseason finale against the Charlotte Hornets.It turns out there was a lot to read into them sitting out. Around 12 hours later, the Sixers waived the duo Thursday morning, according to sources.

The Sixers selected the center late in the second round of the 2021 NBA draft out of Western Kentucky. Bassey averaged 3.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 7.3 minutes in 23 appearances last season. Joe is an accomplished three-point shooter and a solid defender. However, he couldn’t stay in the Sixers’ rotation last season. He followed that up by playing a total of 1 minute, 8 seconds in the final four games of his team’s second-round playoff loss to Miami. Even that’s a bit misleading, because those minutes came in mop-up duty in the series-ending Game 6.
