The Philadelphia 76ers intend to sign veteran guard Antonio Daniels to a 10-day contract, a league source confirmed late Sunday night.

Daniels, 36, is playing for the Texas Legends of the NBA Development League. The Sixers hope to have Daniels at practice as early as Monday and sign him as soon as possible, hopefully in time to play against the Celtics on Tuesday night.

The main reason for signing Daniels is the injury to guard Lou Williams, who strained his right hamstring on Saturday night. Williams underwent an MRI exam on Sunday, and the Sixers said they have no timetable for his return.
