On January 6, 2016, Wood was acquired by the Delaware 87ers.[14] On March 4, he returned to the 76ers, signing a 10-day contract with the team.[15] However, his stint last just three days as he was waived by the 76ers on March 7.[16] Two days later, he was reacquired by Delaware.[17] He was called up again on March 27, signing another 10-day contract with the 76ers.[18] On April 7, he signed with the 76ers for the rest of the season.[19]
