McGee is in talks with the 76ers about a potential buyout before Sunday's playoff-eligibility deadline at midnight, Marc Stein of ESPN reports.

Analysis:

McGee may be held out of Sunday's game against the Pacers as a result of his potential departure. More importantly, he seems interested in signing with a playoff-contending team to finish out the rest of the regular season. Until further news is released by the 76ers, McGee is still a lackluster option who has only averaged 10.6 minutes on the court over his last six games.
