Christmas to work out for Sixers May 26
Former Academy of the New Church and Syracuse standout Rakeem Christmas will work out for the 76ers on May 26, according to a league source.
The 6-foot-9, 242-pound power forward/center averaged 17.5 points and 9.1 rebounds this past season for the Orange. Christmas has been impressive here at the NBA Combine.
The 23-year-old had a game-high 20 points and six rebounds during a five-on-five scrimmage Thursday.
Christmas is expected to go in the second round of next month's NBA draft. The Sixers have five picks in the round.
