Report: Lou Williams Will Opt Out Of Contract With 76ers

Lou Williams plans to opt out of the final year of his contract with the Philadelphia 76ers and become an unrestricted free agent, a league source tells John N. Mitchell and Bob Cooney of the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Williams has been the Sixers' leading scorer this season with 14.9 points per game, but he's yet to crack into the starting five, and Philly has collapsed this season with 21 losses in its last 34 games.

"He's indicated that he's not going to pick up his option," the source tells the Inquirer. "All indications are that he's going to opt out."

Williams is due $6.4 million next season if he remains with the Sixers.
