The seven-foot center will serve as depth at the end of the bench for Philadelphia.

Francisco Elson has reportedly signed with the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Sixers' already thin front line has been decimated by injuries to Spencer Hawes (Achilles) and Nikola Vucevic (quad). Elson did spend some time with the Sixers late in the 2009-10 season as part of the Jodie Meeks trade. If signed, the 7-footer would be mere insurance.

Elson isn't expected to play, though he will be available if needed.

We weren't even aware he had a toe issue, but his availability should help offset Mehmet Okur's possible absence.

Thankfully, the visa saga is over, so Elson can return to being ignored in fantasyland.
