What happened: Dalen Terry turned 24 on Sunday, with the NBA marking the birthday on social media. The 76ers exercised his team option for the 2026-27 season back on June 29, keeping him under contract heading into the new year.

Why it matters: The option pickup means Terry enters his mid-20s with his roster spot secured rather than facing free agency this summer. It keeps the same Dalen Terry whose team option Philadelphia exercised alongside Dominick Barlow's in the fold as a depth piece for the 2026-27 roster build.

What to watch: Terry heads into 76ers training camp for the 2026-27 season with his contract status already settled.
