Sixers Waive Ricky Council IV

July 27, 2025 by Hoops Rumors

The Sixers are waiving Ricky Council IV, the team announced in a press release (via Twitter).

Council signed a four-year, partially guaranteed deal with the Sixers in 2024, which included a non-guaranteed $2,221,677 salary for the 2025/26 season and a team option for ’26/27. Last season, he averaged 7.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 17.1 minutes per night.

As Kyle Neubeck of PHLY Sports notes (via Twitter), the timing of the move was unexpected, given that Council’s guarantee date is on January 10, 2026, and the team currently has an open roster spot if they need it to add restricted free agent Quentin Grimes.

While Council struggled with his three-point shot last season, he emerged as a reliable depth contributor, playing a team-high 73 games while bringing athleticism and energy from the wing positions.

Philadelphia is now carrying 13 players on standard contracts. Twelve of those 13 are fully guaranteed, while Adem Bona‘s deal has a 50% partial guarantee.
