With Andre Drummond, Guerschon Yabusele and Adem Bona out, the 76ers will begin Monday’s game without a legitimate center. Currently on a 10-day contract, Brissett moves into the starting lineup and is worth streaming due to how shorthanded the 76ers are. That’s the long change to the unit that started Sunday’s win over the Mavericks.

Decimated by injuries, the 76ers have been granted a hardship waiver to sign another player to a 10-day contract. Brissett, who has spent this season with the G League’s Long Island Nets, will get another opportunity to prove himself at the NBA level. Not selected in the 2019 draft, he has played five NBA seasons for the Raptors, Pacers and Celtics.

The 2023-24 season was Brissett’s first in Boston, and it could be his last based on the reported decision to decline his player option. The former Pacer had a limited role for the NBA champions, appearing in 56 games and averaging 3.7 points and 2.9 rebounds in 11.5 minutes. Those averages were the lowest for Brissett since his rookie season as a Toronto Raptor.
