Sergio Rodriguez

The former Euroleague MVP will return overseas to continue his professional basketball career. He held a significant role with the 76ers last season, posting 7.8 points and 5.1 assists across 22.3 minutes per game. While the 31-year-old may have been able to garner a small roster spot on an NBA team, it appears that he will be going back overseas to be a legitimate contributor while in the late years of his prime. It seems doubtful at this point, however, that he will return to the NBA.

The 76ers have opted to shut down the veteran guard due to a nagging hamstring injury. The issue has caused him to miss the previous six games. Rodriguez was a surprise this season, as he returned off a six year absence from the league. He will finish the season with averages averages of 7.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, 5.1 dimes, 0.7 steals, and 1.4 triples across 22.3 minutes per game.

Rodriguez's activity should present with the 76ers to formally evaluate him in advance of Saturday's game against the Bucks, but he'll likely need to show he's close to 100 percent healthy to have a shot at playing in the contest. Even if he's cleared to return, Rodriguez's status as the clear backup to starting point guard T.J. McConnell would likely result in him playing no more than 20 minutes Saturday, thereby limiting his DFS upside.

Rodriguez was already expected to miss Tuesday's game, but the Sixers are now tacking on at least one more outing before reevaluating him over the weekend. With the season winding down and the Sixers ruled out of playoff contention, there's a growing belief that he could be shut down for the season, although nothing official has been reported indicating such. Look for T.J. McConnell to see a few extra minutes over the next two contests, while Nik Stauskas operates as the backup at both point guard and shooting guard.
