Signs two-way deal with Philly After the Trail Blazers declined to extend Walker a qualifying offer last week, Walker became a free agent and will move on to a new destination after three seasons in Portland. The 2022 second-round pick appeared in 60 games for the Trail Blazers in 2024-25, averaging 5.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 0.6 steals, 0.6 assists and 0.5 three-pointers in 12.5 minutes per contest. The 6-foot-7, 237-pound Walker is capable of playing both frontcourt spots, and after shooting below 30 percent from beyond the arc in his first two seasons in the league, he made major strides in 2024-25 by converting at a career-best 38.9 percent from downtown. Despite the improvement he showed last season, Walker's playing-time outlook won't necessarily improve in Philadelphia, where he could struggle to carve out minutes behind Joel Embiid (knee), Adem Bona, Justin Edwards (ribs), Trendon Watford and Johni Broome. 07/02/2025, 2:26 AM Inks pact with Philadelphia Gordon will return to the 76ers on a veteran minimum deal after declining his $3.4 million player option Sunday. The 36-year-old swingman sprained his right wrist before the All-Star break and underwent surgery at the end of February. However, he's expected to be ready for training camp. Gordon averaged 6.8 points, 1.7 assists and 1.2 rebounds across 19.7 minutes per game in 39 regular-season appearances (13 starts) during the 2024-25 campaign. 07/01/2025, 6:01 PM Not part of Summer League roster McCain continues to recover from a torn meniscus in his left knee, which ended his rookie campaign after just 23 games (eight starts). It's not yet known if the 21-year-old sharpshooter will be able to participate in training camp this fall, so his rehab will remain worth monitoring up until then. Given the severity of McCain's injury, fantasy managers should expect the 76ers to take a cautious approach with the 2024 first-rounder ahead of the 2025-26 season. (责任编辑:) |
