Sixers waive G/F Gerald Henderson.

The 29-year-old wing had a solid year as a veteran presence on the young Philly team, averaging 9.2 points per game in his 72 outings. The 76ers added a lot of talent and figure to make a splash in free agency with another wing, so Henderson could wind up as a bench vet on another team. Jun 30 - 5:14 PM

Gerald Henderson - G/F - 76ers

The 76ers still haven't decided if they will pick up Gerald Henderson's $9 million team option for 2017-18.

The 76ers only have a few roster spots open and are hoping to make a splash in free agency, so they are likely leaning towards declining it. The 76ers have been linked to shooting guards such as J.J. Redick and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and they already have several interesting young SGs in Timothe Luwawu, Justin Anderson and Furkan Korkmaz. The deadline is Friday, but expect Henderson to fine a new home in 2017-18.

Gerald Henderson - G/F - 76ers

76ers reporter Tom Moore said there's a "good chance" the team will decline Gerald Henderson's option for next season.

The 76ers are now expected to bring over draft-and-stash prospect Furkan Korkmaz next season and they already have Robert Covington, Timothe Luwawu and Nik Stauskas, so it makes sense for them to move on from Henderson since he's owed a non-guaranteed $9 million in 2017-18. The 29-year-old veteran averaged 9.2 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.8 3-pointers in 23.2 minutes per game last season.

Gerald Henderson - G/F - 76ers

Gerald Henderson played 30 minutes off the bench in Philly's finale, scoring four points on 2-of-4 shooting with three assists and one steal.

It was a fittingly quiet finish for the veteran SG. His $9 million contract isn't guaranteed until June and it's a certainty that Philly will cut him loose, even though they like him as a mentor for their young guys. Henderson doesn't have a fantasy-friendly game, making him a tough sell in any situation.

Apr 12 - 10:54 PM

Gerald Henderson - G/F - 76ers

Gerald Henderson finished with six points, two rebounds, an assist and a steal in 23 minutes off the bench before being ejected Monday against the Pacers.

Henderson tossed an errant elbow at Paul George and both players were ejected after the incident. While George is likely good to go for Wednesday's game and the playoffs, Henderson's status is a bit murky for the regular season finale against the Knicks.

Gerald Henderson - G/F - 76ers

Gerald Henderson (hip) is available on Thursday vs. the Bulls.

Henderson has been listed as probable for four straight games, but has played in all of them. The 76ers are short-handed at the moment, but it wouldn't be surprising if Henderson picked up a DNP-rest soon. He's not a fantasy option in most formats.

Apr 6 - 12:33 PM

Gerald Henderson - G/F - 76ers

Gerald Henderson (hip) played 18 minutes on Tuesday vs. the Nets, scoring nine points with two rebounds, one assist and one triple.

Henderson has been listed as probable for four straight games, but he played in each one of them. He's due for a DNP at some point, so leave him on the wire.

Apr 4 - 10:50 PM

Gerald Henderson - G/F - 76ers

Gerald Henderson (hip) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game vs. Brooklyn.

Henderson has been listed as probable and then played in each of the Sixers last three games. However, he is averaging just 7.3 points and 2.9 rebounds in 19.0 minutes over the last month. He belongs on waivers.

Gerald Henderson - G/F - 76ers

Gerald Henderson (sore left hip) finished Sunday's road loss with 12 points, four rebounds, two steals and a pair of 3-pointers in 18 minutes off the bench.

The veteran continues to defy the odds as a staple of the Sixers' youthful rotation. He's basically an on-court coach and his role isn't conducive to fantasy value.

Apr 2 - 8:47 PM

Gerald Henderson - G/F - 76ers

Gerald Henderson (left hip soreness) is probable for Sunday's game vs. the Raptors.

The veteran logged 19 minutes after being deemed 'probable' for Friday's game, so we're likely to see a similar workload tonight.

Apr 2 - 4:36 PM

Gerald Henderson - G/F - 76ers

Gerald Henderson (sore hip) is probable for Friday's game vs. the Cavs.

Henderson is averaging 6.2 points and shooting just 27.9 percent from the floor in 17.9 minutes over his last six games. He should be left on waivers in all leagues.

Mar 31 - 12:04 PM

Gerald Henderson - G/F - 76ers

Gerald Henderson (sore hip) played 22 minutes during Wednesday's home loss, scoring five points with four rebounds, two assists, one steal, one 3-pointer and three turnovers.

Henderson's shot wasn't falling tonight, as he went just 2-of-10 from the field with one 3-pointer, and he also turned the ball over three times. The Sixers had nine players on their active roster tonight and Henderson is the rare veteran to stick in the rotation on a young, rebuilding team, but he's still not a fantasy asset.

Mar 29 - 10:18 PM

Gerald Henderson - G/F - 76ers

Gerald Henderson (hip) is probable to play against the Hawks on Wednesday.

He'll be coming off the bench and the 76ers should take a long look at Justin Anderson in the starting lineup. Henderson isn't worth owning as the 76ers may look at their young guys more than they have before this point.

Mar 29 - 5:33 PM

Gerald Henderson - G/F - 76ers

Gerald Henderson (hip) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game vs. the Nets.

This is not surprising, as the Sixers also play on Wednesday and they have previously kept Henderson out of back-to-back sets due to his nagging hip injury. Nik Stauskas, Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot and Justin Anderson could see a slight uptick in minutes.

Mar 28 - 11:27 AM

Gerald Henderson - G/F - 76ers

Gerald Henderson (hip) played 18 minutes during Sunday's 107-94 loss in Indiana, going 2-of-6 from the field for five points, two rebounds, one assist and one 3-pointer.

Henderson's hip has been a nagging issue for most of the season, and it's somewhat surprising that Philly hasn't simply shut him down. He's little more than a veteran mentor at this point, setting an example for his neophyte teammates, and the vast majority of fantasy owners can do better on the wire.

Depth Charts

All Positions
Pos	Role	Name
PG	1	Markelle Fultz Sidelined Markelle Fultz (ankle) got shots up at practice on Friday. That's a great sign after suffering a scary ankle sprain on July 8. Fultz was originally expected to miss 1-2 weeks back on July 9, so he appears to be right on schedule. Before his injury, he was spectacular in Utah Summer League with most of his production coming on the ball. With Ben Simmons expected to handle the rock and Joel Embiid likely to have one of the top usage rates among all NBA bigs, Fultz will need to be off the ball more to boost his scoring. Jul 14
	2	T.J. McConnell
	3	Jerryd Bayless Sidelined The 76ers expect Jerryd Bayless (wrist surgery) to be ready for training camp, according to beat writer Tom Moore. Bayless will resume scrimmaging this summer and should be ready for opening night, which is good news for Philly since they owe him a guaranteed $17.6 million through 2019. T.J. McCollum played well last season, however, and Ben Simmons will be assuming PG duties, so it's hard to expect anything from Bayless in fantasy leagues. May 31
	4	Melo Trimble
	5	Larry Drew II
SG	1	J.J. Redick
	2	Timothe Luwawu Sidelined Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot (lip) will not play on Friday, but will play for the French team this summer. He was hurt on the same play Markelle Fultz (ankle) suffered his injury, but this one isn't as severe. Luwawu-Cabarrot has grown a lot in the last 12 months and the French team is not going to have Tony Parker, so TLC should be a factor. Jul 14
	3	Nik Stauskas
	4	Furkan Korkmaz
	5	James Blackmon Jr.
SF	1	Robert Covington Sidelined The 76ers can offer Robert Covington an extension for up to $39 million over four years this summer. The 76ers recently picked up their team option on Covington, so he will be on the books for just $1.5 million in 2017-18. Covington will more than likely be looking for a larger deal, so the two sides might wait until Nov. 15 when he will be eligible for more money -- that will be his three year anniversary with Philly. Covington was fourth in the league in steals (1.9 per game) last season with 12.9 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.0 blocks and 2.0 triples, but his field goal percentage (39.9 percent) was an issue. He's one of Philly's best defenders and perimeter shooters, so he should have a nice role in 2017-18. Jun 15
	2	Justin Anderson
PF	1	Ben Simmons Sidelined Ben Simmons said that he believes he is "a starting point guard." The Sixers began grooming Simmons, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 draft, as a point guard last year. However, the Sixers then traded up to draft Markelle Fultz in June and signed J.J. Redick to a $23-million contract this month. It will be difficult to find enough minutes for all three players in the same backcourt. Ideally, Simmons would be content playing more of a hybrid 'point forward' role in the offense. This is a situation to keep an eye on in the preseason. Jul 11
	2	Dario Saric
	3	Amir Johnson
C	1	Joel Embiid Sidelined Joel Embiid (knee) will not play for Team World in the NBA Africa Game on Aug. 5. He has been going through his rehab from his surgery on a torn meniscus. Embiid has been with the team for practice and has even been dunking, but he may not be 100 percent just yet. The best rookie of 2016-17 is still expected to be ready for training camp. Jul 13
	2	Richaun Holmes
	3	Jahlil Okafor Sidelined Jahlil Okafor (knee) was doing some running at the 76ers practice facility on Thursday. He was ruled out for the 2016-17 season back on Mar. 31, but the 76ers haven't provided much detail since then. Okafor's shutdown was likely more of a precautionary thing, so he should be 100 percent for the start of the 2017-18 season. If he's still with Philly, there's a chance he's behind Richaun Holmes on the depth chart. Jun 29
	4	Mathias Lessort
	5	Anzejs Pasecniks
	6	Tiago Splitter
