Darryl Watkins has signed with the Bulgarian team Lukoil Academic. Watkins finished the 2011-12 season with the Hornets, but after being traded to the Sixers in the offseason, Philly promptly waived him and he'll head to Europe to continue his career.

The 76ers have waived center Darryl Watkins. Watkins was thrown in as part of the deal sending Dorell Wright to Philly, and it's not surprising to see him immediately cut loose. He'll have an uphill battle to earn a meaningful role in the NBA next season.

Darryl Watkins was traded from the Hornets to the 76ers as part of Wednesday's deal involving Dorell Wright and Jarrett Jack. The Hornets also acquire the draft rights to F Edin Bavcic, but this was strictly a salary-cap-clearing move for New Orleans. Watkins won't play much, if at all, for the Sixers.

Darryl Watkins scored a season-high 13 points with 10 rebounds, one block, and a season-high three steals in 42 minutes off the bench on Thursday. Watkins got to put some footage on tape and that's about it in his stint with the Hornets. Greivis Vasquez was moved to a bench role to allow Jerome Dyson to start, and he put up eight points on 3-of-14 shooting with two threes, two steals, and six assists, and Carl Landry scored eight points with three boards in seven minutes.

Darryl Watkins followed up his 13-rebound night on Wednesday with just five minutes of action on Thursday against the Rockets. Watkins had two points and no other stats, and needless to say he has no fantasy value.
