Report: Sixers Trade Ilyasova To Hawks For Splitter, 2nd Round Picks

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- According to a report, the Sixers will send forward Ersan Ilyasova to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for Tiago Splitter and two second round picks. The move is reportedly taking place on the eve of the NBA trade deadline.

The Sixers acquired Ilyasova earlier this season in a trade with the Thunder which sent Jerami Grant to Oklahoma City in exchange for Ilyasova and a first round pick.
