Sixers rookie big man Craig Brackins will begin a 10-day, five-game assignment with the Springfield Armor of the NBA Development League tonight.
"We're hoping he can go get some game time and see how much he's improved," Sixers coach Doug Collins said of Brackins. "We're excited that he can go play."
The Sixers are allowed to designate Brackins to the D-League three times and the Sixers have already mapped out the three occasions they plan to send Brackins to Springfield. He has appeared in just one game this season, scoring 6 points in 10 minutes of play at Toronto on November 24.
The only other time the Sixers have assigned players to the D-League came on November 28, 2006 when Bobby Jones and Lou Williams were sent to the Fort Worth Flyers.
Brackins (6-10, 230) was originally the 21st overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft by Oklahoma City. His rights were traded to New Orleans along with the rights to Quincy Pondexter in exchange for Morris Peterson and the rights to Cole Aldrich. The Sixers acquired Brackins and Darius Songaila from the Hornets in exchange for Willie Green and Jason Smith on September 23.
