The 76ers are close to signing 6-foot-9 veteran forward Donyell Marshall, according to a league source. Marshall could meet today with the Sixers and sign a veteran-minimum contract - for an estimated $1.26 million - sometime this week. Marshall, 35, was recently waived by Oklahoma City. The source said the Sixers had been in discussions with Marshall since last week.

A native of Reading, Pa., Marshall has played in 932 NBA games and has career averages of 11.4 points and 6.8 rebounds per game. He was the Minnesota Timberwolves' first-round pick (fourth overall) out of Connecticut in the 1994 NBA draft. In 14 seasons, he has also played for Golden State, Utah, Chicago, Toronto, Cleveland and Seattle. Contact staff writer Kate Fagan at 856-779-3844 or kfagan@phillynews.com.
