According to The Philadelphia Inquirer's Keith Pompey, the Philadelphia 76ers did not sign point guard Tim Frazier to a second, 10-day contract.
Frazier, 24, made his NBA debut on February 6, 2015 after signing a ten-day contract with the Sixers the day prior. That night, in a 107-96 defeat against the Boston Celtics, Frazier recorded 11 assists, secured five rebounds, and shot 2-9 from the court to yield the first five points of his professional career.
While Frazier struggled shooting-wise in his next appearance the following night, home against the Charlotte Hornets for his first career start, he still managed to dish-out eight additional assists. Frazier's 19 total assists after his first two career games were the second-most in NBA history for a player over that same stretch to start their career.

The Penn State grad's final appearance with Philadelphia came last Monday against the Golden State Warriors, which was the team's final game of the unofficial "first-half" of the season prior to the NBA All-Star Weekend. Frazier was effective, being just three assists shy of his first career double-double as he shot 4-11 from the field to produce 10 points.
Frazier signed with Philadelphia after a similar "experiment" was held with Larry Drew II. Drew II, however, returned for a second ten-day stint and appeared in 12 games overall with Philadelphia from January 16, 2015 through February 3, 2015.
Drew II and Frazier both helped fill the point guard void left by the injured Tony Wroten, who suffered a partially torn right ACL.
It is unclear who will replace Frazier on the Sixers' roster as they return from the All-Star break Friday night, home against the Indiana Pacers for their new mascot's debut. As Pompey writes, the open roster spot can be used to take on an expiring contract prior to the 3 p.m. trade deadline this Thursday.
