Yahoo! Sports NBA beat writer Marc J. Spears reported late Wednesday night and Comcast SportsNets Sixers reporter Dei Lynam confirmed shortly after that [Tim] Frazier would be signed to a 10-day contract on Thursday and would join the 76ers in Boston for their game against the Celtics on Friday night. The game will tip at 7:30 and be televised by Comcast SportsNet.
Ironically, Frazier spent training camp with the Celtics as a free agent, played in four exhibition games, was cut late and assigned to the clubs D-League team in Portland, Maine. With the Maine Red Claws this season, Frazier has averaged 15.9 points, 8.9 assists and 6.8 boards and was named to the East squad for the D-League All-Star Game.
A Houston native, Frazier burst on the scene as at PSU as a freshman and played immediately alongside Talor Battle. But he did not really mature until midway through the 2010-11 season when he added an offensive game to warp-drive acceleration and penetration skills.
With senior Battle and soph Frazier clicking, the Lions streaked to the Big Ten tournament final and an unexpected 2011 NCAA tournament berth where they lost to Temple on a last-second shot in Tucson. In a 61-48 Big Ten tourney semifinal win over Michigan State, the favored Spartans could not contain Frazier’s gap-piercing halfcourt drives and lightning speed up the floor on breaks.
