Ohio State's Evan Turner, who is expected to be the 76ers' choice with the No. 2 overall draft pick, will work out for the team tomorrow.

The Daily News reported the date of his workout last week.

Turner's agent, David Falk, has said Turner will work out only for the Sixers.

Turner will take part in a session at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine with two local players, La Salle's Rodney Green and Villanova's Reggie Redding. The Sixers are expected to host Georgia Tech's Derrick Favors and Kentucky's DeMarcus Cousins on Friday, and Syracuse's Wes Johnson on Saturday.

New coach Doug Collins is expected to attend the workouts.

The NBA draft is June 24.

Washington has the No. 1 pick and is expected to select Kentucky's John Wall. New Jersey has the No. 3 pick and is said to be leaning toward Favors. He and Cousins will work out for the Nets on Monday.
