Overview
- Cam Payne is returning from Partizan Belgrade on a rest-of-season contract, per multiple reports including Marc Stein.
- Partizan required a reported $1.75 million buyout for Payne’s release, with the 76ers permitted to contribute up to $875,000.
- Payne is expected to sign for the prorated veteran minimum, giving Philadelphia an experienced ball-handler and shooter for the stretch run.
- Jabari Walker has agreed to a two-year standard contract after reaching the 50-game limit on his two-way deal, according to Shams Charania and The Inquirer.
- The moves address guard depth after deadline deals involving Jared McCain and Eric Gordon and are structured to keep the Sixers under the luxury tax.
