The Sixers signed 21-year-old swingman Adonis Thomas to a 10-day contract, the team announced.

The contract of James Nunnally, who had exhausted his share of 10-day deals, had expired Saturday night, leaving the Sixers’ roster with a vacancy.

The 6-7, 240-pounder spent most of his season with the D-League’s Springfield Armor. Sandwiched between D-League stints was a four-game stint Thomas played in Orlando on a pair of 10-day deals, the last of which expired March 14. While with the Magic, Thomas averaged 1.8 points, 0.8 rebounds and 0.5 assists.

Thomas went undrafted last summer out of Memphis, where he played two seasons.

Friday’s game at Memphis should feel like a homecoming for Thomas, who was born there. Thomas is the Sixers’ fourth player with Memphis roots. Thaddeus Young, Elliot Williams and Arnett Moultrie all went to high school in the Tennessee town.

Thomas will be the eighth rookie and the 23^rd player overall to have appeared in uniform this season for the Sixers, and the 28^th to occupy a spot on their 15-man roster.

BOSTON -- The Sixers have signed Casper Ware to a second 10-day deal, the team announced.

Ware has averaged 3.6 points, 1.2 assists and 1.2 rebounds in 14.2 minutes over five appearances for the Sixers, who signed him out of Italy’s first division late last month.

When asked Wednesday about his future with the Sixers, Ware sounded ambivalent. He said the idea of flying to his home country for his first chance at playing in the NBA was a lot to digest.

“You’ve got 10 days to come out here and show what you’ve got,” Ware said. “You just try to listen to what they say and take it all in. You have to do it right and the right way.”

The 5-10, 170-pounder’s latest contract will take him to April 12, four days and two games shy of the season finale at Miami. At that point, the Sixers could opt to let him go or sign him for the remainder of the season.

The 76ers will sign swingman James Nunnally to a second 10-day contract, a league source said.

Nunnally traveled with the Sixers Wednesday from San Antonio to Houston, where they’ll play the Rockets Thursday night. His initial 10-day deal is set to expire Wednesday night at midnight.

Nunnally's second 10-day contract likely will not be announced by the team until Thursday.

The 23-year-old Nunnally has made five appearances for an average of 12.2 minutes per game since signing with the Sixers earlier this month out of the D-League. He’s shooting 25 percent overall and averaging 2.2 points and 1.0 rebounds off the bench.

By the time his second 10-day deal expires, the Sixers will have to decide whether to re-up Nunnally through the remainder of the regular season (what equates to their final five games), or let him walk.

The 76ers have signed Casper Ware to a 10-day deal, a league source said Monday.

Ware, a 5-10 point guard, has been playing internationally in Italy’s first and second divisions since going undrafted in 2012 out of Long Beach State.

To make room for Ware, the Sixers and Darius Johnson-Odom went their separate ways. The shooting guard was not re-signed beyond an initial 10-day contract, which expired Sunday.

Ware will become the 22^nd player to have appeared in a game this season for the Sixers (15-55), who continue their three-game roadtrip Monday at San Antonio. Ware will be in uniform and available against the Spurs, the source said.

Ware was averaging 11.7 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 22 games with Virtus Bologna of Serie A, Italy’s top-tier league. Last season, he was the MVP of Italy’s second-tier league while averaging 20.6 points, 4.8 assists and 3.8 rebounds for Novipiu Casale Monferrato.

As for Johnson-Odom, his time had come and gone.

The Marquette product made three appearances and played a mere 15 minutes in the six games that coincided with his 10-day deal, and he failed to score in any of them. The shooting guard, who’s got seven NBA games under his belt, is 0-for-11 from the floor for a career average of 0.0 points per game as a pro.

The revolving door that leads to the 76ers’ locker room continues to turn, signing D-Leaguer James Nunnally to a 10-day deal, a league source confirmed. 

The Sixers have opted to use their last roster spot for trial-and-error purposes in the final stages of a tanking season. Assuming Nunnally makes at least one appearance, the 6-7 swingman will be the 21^st player to have worn a Sixers uniform this season. Also, he’s the ninth among their 13 healthy players with D-League experience.

Nunnally (6-7, 205) made his NBA debut this season, appearing in four games with Atlanta. Along with recently inked guard Darius Johnson-Odom, he was one of four players the Sixers brought in last week for an off-day workout at their practice facility. Nunnally averaged 17.9 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game in 33 appearances for Texas. 

The 23-year-old went undrafted out of UC-Santa Barbara in 2012. 

To free up a roster spot for Nunnally, the Sixers waived point guard Eric Maynor. Acquired from Washington in a deal at the trade deadline, Maynor will be compensated $2.1 million for the player option he holds for the 2014-15 season.
