Sampson has signed a two-year deal with the Denver Nuggets, Keith Pompey of the Philly Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sampson was waived by the 76ers on Thursday in order to make room on the 15-man roster for Joel Anthony. The shooting guard averaged 5.2 points and 2.4 rebounds in 121 games for the 76ers from 2015-16.

Sixers coach Brett Brown said Friday that the team is hoping to reacquire Sampson, if he clears waivers, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sampson was waived Thursday to make room for deadline acquisition Joel Anthony on the roster, but the 76ers have made it clear that they'd like to retain Sampson, should he clear waivers. That's certainly no guarantee, however, and the team would need to need to make a move to waive another player in order to accommodate Sampson if he does clear waivers.

Sampson was cut by Philadelphia on Thursday, Marc J. Spears of Yahoo.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sampson was cut the afternoon after the trade deadline in order for Philadelphia to make room for newcomer Joel Anthony. Sampson had only logged 11 minutes through five games in February, meaning his absence won't have much of an impact at all on the minutes distribution for the rest of the team.

Sampson has only logged 11 minutes in February after averaging 15 minutes a game the rest of the season.

EDGE Analysis

Sampson has been a DNP coach's decision in three of the past five games. He'll contend with Isiah Canaan, Jerami Grant, and Hollis Thompson for minutes off the bench the second-half of the season.

Sampson (illness) played only four minutes in Saturday's 108-105 loss to the Warriors, finishing with no points (0-4 FG) and two rebounds.

EDGE Analysis

Prior to missing the Sixers' last two games with an illness, Sampson had been serving as one of the team's starting wings, but he was deployed off the bench in his return. While Sampson missed time, Nik Stauskas (back) came back from injury to take back the starting role, and it's likely that he'll continue to hold down the job for the foreseeable future. Don't expect Sampson to become an integral figure in coach Brett Brown's rotation.

Sampson (illness) is expected to be available for Saturday's game against Golden State, Tom Moore of Calkins Media reports.

EDGE Analysis

An upper-respiratory illness has kept Sampson on the sidelines for the past two games, but he should be able to take the floor Saturday. He only lasted nine minutes in his most recent start, so it's possible that coach Brett Brown will bring him off the bench for Saturday's contest.

Sampson has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Suns due to illness, Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sampson is dealing with an upper respiratory infection which will force him to spend Tuesday night on the bench. There is no word on his availability for Wednesday's matchup with Pistons, but unless he can shake the bug in the next 24 hours it seems unlikely that he'll take the court. Nik Stauskas will start in Sampson's absence.

Sampson (hip) played only nine minutes in Sunday's 112-92 loss to the Celtics, finishing with two points (1-3 FG) and one rebound.

EDGE Analysis

Sampson, who exited early in the 76ers' previous game Wednesday against the Magic with a hip pointer, was cleared to rejoin the starting lineup Sunday despite the return of Nik Stauskas (shoulder), but that didn't end up meaning a whole lot. Stauskas (15 minutes) and fellow reserve wings Isaiah Canaan (15 minutes) and Hollis Thompson (24 minutes) all ended up playing more than Sampson, who could fall back to a bench role in short order.

Sampson (hip) will play in Saturday's game against the Celtics, Keith Pompey of the Philly Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sampson left Wednesday's game against the Magic after just eight minutes because of a hip pointer. After another two days off for rest, Sampson's hip is feeling better and he's expected to take the court on Saturday versus the Celtics. With Nik Stauskas set to remain out with a shoulder injury, Sampson could move back into the starting lineup. He's been rotating in out as a starter all season, so we'll have to wait for coach Brett Brown to make the final decision, which will likely come sometime close to tip-off on Saturday.

Sampson (hip) is unsure if he'll be available for Sunday's game against the Celtics, Jessica Camerato of CSN Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sampson was removed from Wednesday's 96-87 win over the Magic with 4:19 remaining in the first quarter after suffering a left hip pointer. The 76ers initially were hopeful he'd be able to return to the contest, but Sampson was ultimately ruled out after he was experiencing too much pain to continue. He was spotted icing his hip in the locker room after the game, and is hopeful that having the next two days off will enable him to return to action Saturday. Sampson served as the 76ers' starter at shooting guard Wednesday, but if he can't play against the Celtics, those honors would likely go to either Isaiah Canaan, Hollis Thompson, or Nik Stauskas (shoulder).
