You could generate the sphere and then reference it, if that works for you.

GameObject.CreatePrimitive(PrimitiveType.Sphere);

I know this is an old thread but I would do this:

 GameObject obj = GameObject.CreatePrimitive(PrimitiveType.Sphere);
 Mesh mesh = Instantiate(obj.GetComponent<MeshFilter>().mesh);
 Destroy(obj);

What it does is it creates a copy of only the mesh of the Primitive and destroys the original source object.
