context_page_description: Norvel Pelle Jr. is a professional basketball player for the Philadelphia 76ers of the National Basketball Association. A 6-foot-10-inch, 231-pound power forward and center, he played at three different high schools in the Los Angeles area and was ranked as one of the top recruits in his class. He was barred from competing in college after failing to meet academic requirements, choosing to immediately turn professional in 2013.
  Pelle spent his rookie year with the Delaware 87ers of the NBA Development League. He then moved to the Dacin Tigers in Taiwan, where he was named an All-Star, and returned to the 87ers at the end of the season. In 2015, Pelle joined Lebanese club Homenetmen Beirut, leading the league in blocks. In the next season, he began a two-year stint with Pallacanestro Varese in Italy, closing the 2017–18 season with Auxilium Torino.
  He holds Antiguan, American, and Lebanese citizenship, and has experience with the Lebanon national basketball team.
