It was announced Monday that guard Royal Ivey declined the player option in his contract to play for the Sixers for the 2009-10 season. At the same time, Sixers’ fans all over the Delaware Valley asked “Who the hell is Royal Ivey?”
Sixers’ GM Ed Stefanski announced Ivey’s decision through a press release but decline to waste his time with further comment.
Ivey’s agent, Keith Glass, had to initially be reminded who Ivey was, and then he also declined comment.
In 71 games this season (who knew?), Ivey averaged 3.0 points and 1.1 rebound per game. He averaged a paltry 33.2% field goal percentage.
Surprisingly, Ivey had 36 steals to just 23 turnovers, the sixth best steal-to-turnover ratio (1.57) of any player in the league.
