Council IV is in his second NBA season (all with the 76ers).

He is currently averaging 6.0 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists per contest while shooting 40.1% from the field and 28.9% from the three-point range in 53 games.

Via Aidan Doc of Rowan Radio: "Ricky Council IV was sent down a little over a month ago, but returned and had a good stretch after for the Sixers.

Justin Edwards and company have taken some consistent minutes away from him. Sometimes it's just about letting players get on the court."
