Wilson became a free agent Wednesday after his 10-day contract with the 76ers expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Philadelphia will have the option of retaining Wilson on a second 10-day contract, but the club may prefer to fill its open roster spot with a backcourt or wing player after getting Joel Embiid (knee) back from an extended absence in Tuesday's 109-105 win over the Thunder. Wilson made two appearances over the course of his 10-day deal, tallying 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 16 total minutes.

Rotowire
Wilson recorded 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 14 minutes during Monday's 108-96 loss to the Kings.

Wilson has played excellent ball recently in the G League, and the Sixers need support inside as they limp to the playoffs without Joel Embiid (knee).
