Overview
- Philadelphia agreed to a 10-day contract with former second-round pick Charles Bassey, according to multiple reports citing ESPN's Shams Charania.
- Filling the final standard roster spot keeps two-way players Dominick Barlow and Jabari Walker eligible after the team hit the combined appearance limit while under 15 contracts.
- Bassey was scratched from his Santa Cruz Warriors G League game after the agreement and is slated to sign Monday, with travel and weather potentially affecting when he joins the team.
- The 25-year-old center, drafted 53rd by the Sixers in 2021, has logged NBA time with the Spurs and briefly the Grizzlies and is averaging about 19 points, 11 rebounds and over two blocks in the G League this season.
- Local reporting indicates the Sixers could use successive 10-day contracts through the Feb. 5 trade deadline to maintain roster flexibility.
