What happened: Philadelphia's two-year, $8 million contract includes a player option for the second season. A subsequent trade left the roster at 14 players.

Why it matters: Half-court creation is a central concern after the 76ers finished 29th in assists last season. The offseason overhaul has raised championship expectations for 2026-27.

By the numbers: The contract is worth $8 million over two years, with a second-season player option. Philadelphia currently has 14 players and ranked 29th in assists last season.

What to watch: The next test is how Philadelphia distributes playmaking duties and builds its opening lineup. Further roster moves could shape the supporting rotation.
