Former Sixers F Ricky Council IV to sign with Nets in free agency

Ricky Council IV will find a new home in the NBA. After being waived by the Philadelphia 76ers after two seasons with the team, Council will join their division rival: the Brooklyn Nets.

Council, an undrafted signee from Arkansas, worked his way from a two-way deal to a standard one and averaged 6.7 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.1 assists in 105 games with the Sixers. As Philadelphia moves forward, it decided to cut ties with Council which opened the door for him to sign with the Nets.

Council appeared in 73 games in the 2024-25 season–starting 12 of those games–and averaged 7.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 1.3 assists.

The Nets will offer Council the opportunity to play and earn a consistent rotation spot. He was unable to do so with the Sixers and the rebuild in Brooklyn will give him every opportunity to earn a permanent spot for the future.
