With the Sixers finding some success with the duo of Ish Smith and TJ McConnell, a former Sixers guard might be close to hitting the court once again. Tony Wroten, waived by the Sixers on Christmas Eve, reportedly met with representatives from the Knicks recently.
With Jimmer's 10-day contract set to expire Thursday, Knicks recently met with former Sixers guard Tony Wroten, the Daily News has learned.

Wroten, 22, played in just eight games with the Sixers prior to them trading for Ish Smith, which made him expendable. Wroten was recovering from ACL surgery from an injury sustained last January, but turned the ball over 3.6 times per game during his eight-game stint with the Sixers this season and shooting just 33.8 percent from the floor and 17.6 percent from beyond the arc. Prior to tearing his ACL last year, Wroten was one of the few bright spots for the Sixers in 2014-15, averaging 16.9 points and 5.2 assists per game.
The Knicks had interest in Wroten back in December, but opted to go with Thanasis Antetokounmpo, who had more experience with the triangle offense run in New York.
