Long will sign a 10-day contract with the 76ers on Monday, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 76ers have three players who have been ruled out for the season and another (Tiago Splitter) who is out indefinitely, so the NBA will grant the team a roster exemption to add Long, a 24-year-old big man who attended training camp with the team before being cut. The undrafted rookie has since honed his craft with the 76ers' D-League affiliate, the Delaware 87ers, averaging 20.2 points (on 53.5% shooting from the field), 11.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.3 blocks in 29.5 minutes per game in 39 appearances. He'll likely slot in as the main backup to Richaun Holmes at center for as long as Jahlil Okafor (knee) remains sidelined.
