NEW YORK, Jan. 15, 2011 ¬" Philadelphia 76ers forward Craig Brackins was reassigned to the Springfield Armor, the 76ers ¬â¢ NBA Development League affiliate, it was announced today. The assignment marks the 31st time in the 2010-11 season an NBA player has been assigned to an NBA D-League affiliate, and it is the second assignment for Brackins, a rookie out of Iowa State.
Brackins (6-10, 230) was first assigned on Nov. 30. He averaged 17.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.8 blocks in five games before being recalled. Brackins has appeared in two games this season for Philadelphia, averaging 4.0 points in 10.5 minutes.
An early entry candidate for the 2010 NBA Draft, Brackins was selected by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round (21st overall) as part of a draft-day swap with the New Orleans Hornets, who then traded Brackins to Philadelphia in September. In three seasons at Iowa State, Brackins averaged 16.0 points and 7.7 rebounds in 95 games, and was an AP All-America Honorable Mention selection in 2009.
Brackins joins the Armor in anticipation of the team ¬â¢s home game against the Erie BayHawks tonight. Philadelphia fans can keep track of Brackins and the Springfield Armor by logging onto nba.com/dleague to watch every game live, online, for free.
