Bjelica sails for Europe at the end of the Timberwolves season and should have a physical with the Sixers last week. . The team said that visa complications prevented Bjelica from taking the physical.

"This is not the [Brett Brown] coach of the Philly organization," he told Athletic earlier this week. "Brett Brown is a great guy and a great coach.The most important thing for me is the family and some kind of stability."

Bjelica averaged 6.1 points and 3.8 rebounds on three seasons with the Timberwolves. He posted career highs in points (6.8) and a percentage of three points (41.5) last season.

Bjelica had to play both forward positions and provide shot for the Sixers. The team has since added Mike Muscala in a three-way trade with the Hawks and Thunder. Muscala is a great man with a range of shooting, although he is less versatile and will likely not play games.
