Philadelphia 76ers forward Andres Nocioni has signed a one-month contract to play with a team in Argentina.

Nocioni’s salary to play in his native country is expected to be a mere pittance, according to the webiste TalkBasket.net.

The report said sponsors were needed to cover the cost of insurance, estimated to be about $50,000.

Nocioni, who will turn 32 on Nov. 30, averaged 6.1 points and 3.1 rebounds in a reserve role with the Sixers last season.
