NEW YORK, March 24, 2011 - Philadelphia 76ers forward Craig Brackins was reassigned to the Springfield Armor, the 76ers' NBA Development League affiliate, it was announced today. The assignment marks the 49th time in the 2010-11 season an NBA player has been assigned to an NBA D-League affiliate, and it is the third and final assignment this season for Brackins, a rookie out of Iowa State.
Brackins (6-10, 230) was assigned on Nov. 30 and Jan. 15. He appeared in 14 games (nine starts) with the Armor, averaging 19.9 points and 9.1 rebounds in 37.2 minutes. Brackins has appeared in three games this season for Philadelphia, averaging 2.7 points in 11.0 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 is expected to join Springfield for its home game against New Mexico on Saturday. Philadelphia fans can keep track of Brackins and the Armor by logging onto nba.com/dleague to watch every game live, online, for free.
