Tony Wroten sustained a sprained right knee during Wednesday’s loss to the Brooklyn Nets and will miss at least one week as a result of the injury, the Philadelphia 76ers announced on Friday.

Wroten will be re-evaluated on December 5, at which time the team is expected to provide another update.

The Philadelphia 76ers have recalled forward JaKarr Sampson from the Delaware 87ers of the NBA Development League. 

Sampson has appeared in nine games with two starts for the Sixers this season. He appeared in two games for the Sevens, averaging 15 points and 5 rebounds.

The Philadelphia 76ers are not currently scheduled to be favored in any of their remaining 69 games.

Their best odds to win are at 44.6 percent on March 30th when they host the Los Angeles Lakers.

The 76ers have yet to win a game this season.

Furkan Aldemir will leave Galatasaray to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Aldemir is averaging 8.1 points and 9.1 rebounds in 22.7 minutes per game for Galatasary in 11 games.

The 76ers acquired the draft rights to Aldemir in July 2013 from the Houston Rockets.

The Philadelphia 76ers have lost their first 11 games and are eight losses away from the longest-season opening losing streak.

"That's where we're at, everybody," he said. "And we're not crying about it. We don't want sympathy. We come to work. I get it."

The 14 players who have played so far this season for the 76ers have an average age of 23.3 years.

"When I first took this job, when [general manager] Sam [Hinkie] took his job, nobody knew that year two was going to play out like this," Brown said after practice Thursday.

The 76ers were expecting a big improvement with two first round picks, but they instead selected an injured player (Joel Embiid) and one that would remain in Europe (Dario Saric).

"We put our big-boy pants on and made a decision that is best for the club long-term," Brown said. "Time will tell. But the year that we are all now living in is a result of those types of decisions. That's why you look on the floor and see a roster like you do and resumés like you do."

Nike is pulling back on plans for a shoe that sneakily honors Allen Iverson after the former NBA superstar questioned whether the company could use his old number and team color.

Iverson endorses rival company Reebok and has been with the brand since being drafted in the NBA in 1996.

The Nike sneaker included the No. 3 — Iverson's number — on each back heel and the red, white and blue colors of the Philadelphia 76ers.

"Nike has made a business decision to not move forward with the shoe in the red/blue and white/purple colorways," KeJuan Wilkins said in an email. "However, two colorways inspired by the original 1996 colorways will still be available for purchase."

Jason Richardson believes he will return as soon as December from a stress fracture in his right foot, which followed left knee surgery.

Asked if he expects to play this season, Richardson said: “No doubt in my mind.”

Richardson added he will “definitely be back before the all-star break or January or maybe even before this year is over with. I’ll see how my body takes all this training and getting ready for it.”

Richardson, 33, is the highest-paid member of the Philadelphia 76ers this season, earning $6.6 million in the final year of his contract.

The Philadelphia 76ers have signed free agent forward Robert Covington.

Covington was the first overall pick in the 2014 NBA Development League Draft by the Grand Rapids Drive.

As a rookie last season, Covington saw action in seven games for the Houston Rockets while spending most of his time with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers of the D-League. In 42 games (41 starts) for the Vipers, Covington averaged 23 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.4 blocks in 34 minutes per game while also averaging 3.2 3-pointers made on 37.0% shooting. In addition to being named the 2014 NBA D-League Rookie of the Year, Covington also earned D-League First Team honors and won the MVP award at the D-League All-Star game after scoring a record 33 points in helping his team to victory. 

In a related move, the Sixers waived Chris Johnson.
