7-foot-6 big man Tacko Fall has now earned another chance in the NBA.
On Tuesday, the Philadelphia 76ers signed all of Fall, Jameer Nelson Jr., and Saint Thomas to Exhibit 10 deals, which will allow them to participate in training camp with hopes of making the roster.

Fall is initially from Senegal, but he made a name for himself while playing in college with the UCF Golden Knights.
Fall went undrafted in 2019 before signing with the Boston Celtics. He then went to the Cleveland Cavaliers for the 2021-22 season before going overseas.
Fall played with the Xinjiang Flying Tigers and Nanjing Monkey Kings in China, and he had one of the most disrespectful posters we have seen in a long time.

Fall then played with the New Zealand Breakers before returning to Nanjing, and he most recently played for the Ningbo Rockets in the Chinese Basketball Association.
Tacko Fall has played in a total of 37 regular-season games in the NBA and 55 G League games. He now joins the 76ers team that signed LeBron James and traded for Jaylen Brown as they have NBA Finals aspirations.
