The Philadelphia 76ers recently made a significant move by selecting VJ Edgecombe as the third overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, marking a bright spot in an otherwise quiet offseason following a disappointing 24-58 season. To further streamline their roster, the team waived Ricky Council IV, a swingman whose inconsistency has left him without a guaranteed spot. Council, who averaged 7.3 points last season, is now expected to seek opportunities elsewhere in the league. Despite a promising collegiate career at Arkansas, where he averaged 16.1 points, his time with the 76ers was marked by limited playing time. With a new direction and roster overhaul, the Sixers aim to rebound with fresh talent as they prepare for the upcoming season.
