76ers’ Lou Williams reportedly ready to test free agency

Lou Williams, the Philadelphia 76ers’ sixth man and leading scorer, will opt out of the final year of his contract and become an unrestricted free agent at season’s end.

The Sixers would owe Williams $6.4 million next season if he decides not to opt out, the website notes. But, a source said, Williams has “indicated that he's not going to pick up his option. All indications are that he's going to opt out."

Sixers GM Rod Thorn, however, said, "He has not said what he will do, but we will react to that when the time comes."

Leading a team in scoring while coming off the bench is a rare feat. Williams, who’s averaging 15.0 points per game this season, could become the first player to be his team’s leading scorer without starting a game since Dell Curry did it for the Charlotte Hornets in the 1993-94 season, according to the report.
