If everything goes as planned, MarJon Beauchamp will sign a contract with the Sixers.
Sources have said the 6-foot-6 small forward has agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract with the Sixers. However, a team source said it is not official yet. The source said the Portland Trail Blazers are still involved.

It's understandable why the Sixers have moved away from a balanced attack. Embiid and Maxey were the NBA’s highest-scoring dup in 2023-24 season. Now, Nick Nurse wants to have "a little more variety."

Bona has picked up two early fouls in every Sixers' preseason game so far. Barlow is outperforming Jabari Walker, who's also on a two-way deal, and had a team-high nine rebounds against Orlando.

"The Sixers have definitely lowered their expectations, at least publicly. But is that a good sign for a team with three maximum-salary players on the squad running out of relevancy in this city?" writes @pompeyonsixers.bsky.social.

Sixers have lowered expectations for this season. They’re not relevant in the city sports scene now.

"We’re talking about just winning the day,” Sixers president Daryl Morey says. The team had much bigger expectations with its Big Three before last season.
