• Sixers Convert Dominick Barlow From Two-Way Deal To Multi-Year Standard Contract

  The Philadelphia 76ers have signed Dominick Barlow to a multi-year standard NBA contract.

  Barlow appeared in 40 games with 33 starts for the 76ers after signing a two-way contract on July 9, 2025. The forward averaged 8.4 points on 55.0 percent shooting, 5.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.0 steals in 24.0 minutes per contest.

  The New Jersey native has averaged 14.7 points on 55.8 percent shooting, 8.3 rebounds, and 1.6 steals over his past three games. His recent surge in production helped convince Philadelphia to offer a standard contract.

  Barlow scored in double figures on 17 occasions this season. He posted career highs of 26 points on 10-of-16 shooting and ten offensive rebounds with 16 total boards against the Los Angeles Clippers on Feb. 2.

  The San Antonio Spurs originally signed Barlow to a two-way contract as an undrafted free agent on July 10, 2022. He has produced 5.4 points on 53.3 percent shooting, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.0 assist in 136 career games with 38 starts over three NBA seasons.

  Barlow previously played for the Spurs from 2022-24 and the Atlanta Hawks during the 2024-25 campaign before joining Philadelphia. He is represented by Todd Ramasar.

• Sixers Sign Patrick Baldwin Jr. To 10-Day Contract

  The Philadelphia 76ers have signed Patrick Baldwin Jr. to a 10-day contract. The forward joins the 76ers after averaging 21.6 points with the San Diego Clippers in the G League.

  Baldwin appeared in 25 games for the LA Clippers' G League affiliate, shooting 53.2 percent from the field while adding 7.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.6 steals in 33.6 minutes per contest.

• Charles Bassey Signs 2nd 10-Day Contract With Sixers

  The Philadelphia 76ers have signed Charles Bassey to a second 10-day contract. Bassey is represented by Adie von Gontard and Daveed Cohen.
  
  Bassey signed his first 10-day contract with Philadelphia on Jan. 26, 2026, and appeared in two games for the Delaware Blue Coats, the 76ers' NBA G League affiliate, averaging 22.0 points on 70.4-percent shooting (60.0 3FG%), 16.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.5 blocks in 34.4 minutes. In both contests, Bassey recorded a double-double with at least 20 points and 10 rebounds.
  
  The Nigerian native has appeared in 12 games (11 starts) for the Delaware Blue Coats and the Santa Cruz Warriors this season, averaging 19.2 points on 61.3-percent shooting (44.0 3FG%), 11.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 2.2 blocks in 28.9 minutes.
  
  Originally selected by Philadelphia in the second round (53rd overall) of the 2021 NBA Draft, Bassey is averaging 4.3 points on 62.5-percent shooting and 4.3 rebounds in 115 games with the 76ers, Spurs, and Grizzlies.

• Sixers Trade Eric Gordon, 2032 2nd Rounder To Grizzlies

  The Philadelphia 76ers have traded Eric Gordon and a 2032 second round pick to the Memphis Grizzlies. The move creates the flexibility for the Sixers to convert Dominick Barlow from a Two-Way deal to a standard NBA contract.

  Gordon has appeared in just six games this season with the Sixers and is averaging 5.5 points in 12.3 minutes.

  Barlow has appeared in 40 games and is averaging 8.4 points and 5.1 rebounds in 23.9 minutes as he runs out of Two-Way games.

• Thunder Acquire Jared McCain From Sixers

  The Oklahoma City Thunder have acquired Jared McCain from the Philadelphia 76ers for the Houston Rockets' 2026 first round pick and three second round picks.

  McCain was having a promising rookie season last year before his meniscus injury. With the Sixers also having Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe in the backcourt, McCain's place in their hierarchy became less essential.

  The Sixers will have flexibility to re-sign Quentin Grimes in free agency in 2026 and also convert Dominick Barlow from his Two-Way to a standard NBA deal.

• Paul George Suspended 25 Games For Violating Anti-Drug Program

  Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George has been suspended for 25 games for violation the NBA/NBPA Anti-Drug Program. George will begin serving his suspension with Saturday's game between the Sixers and the New Orleans Pelicans.

  George took responsibility for the suspension, telling ESPN: "Over the past few years, I've discussed the importance of mental health, and in the course of recently seeking treatment for an issue of my own, I made the mistake of taking an improper medication. I take full responsibility for my actions and apologize to the Sixers organization, my teammates and the Philly fans for my poor decision making during this process.

  "I am focused on using this time to make sure that my mind and body are in the best condition to help the team when I return."

  Philadelphia has 35 games remaining this season. That means George could return with 10 games to play in the regular season, starting with the 76ers home game on March 25.

  George has played in 27 of Philadelphia's first 47 games. The veteran forward has averaged 16 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.5 steals in 30.5 minutes per game. George has shot 42.4% from the field, including 38.2% on 6.4 three-point attempts per game.

• Giannis Antetokounmpo Has Wolves, Sixers On List Of Potential Teams

  Giannis Antetokounmpo has had the Minnesota Timberwolves on his list of teams he would be interested in joining dating back to last offseason, sources tell The Stein Line. Antetokounmpo finds the idea of teaming up with Anthony Edwards appealing to him. Antetokounmpo feels similarly about Tyrese Maxey and the Philadelphia 76ers.

  The Wolves are limited in what they can send out in terms of future draft capital and would almost certainly need another team to highly value Jaden McDaniels in order to construct a package attractive enough for the Milwaukee Bucks to take it compared to what other teams could potentially offer.

  Tim Connelly is known as one of the more aggressive executives in the NBA, evidenced by his trades for Rudy Gobert and Julius Randle. Last year, the Wolves attempted to trade for Kevin Durant.

  If the Bucks wait to trade Antetokounmpo until the offseason, the Wolves could gain access to two additional first round picks to offer.

  At this point, sources say the Sixers have not contacted the Bucks about a potential Antetokounmpo trade. Maxey, like Antetokounmpo and Joel Embiid, works out with NBA trainer Drew Hanlen.

• Sixers Open To Trading Andre Drummond

  The Philadelphia 76ers are open to trading center Andre Drummond ahead of the February 5 trade deadline. Drummond is on an expiring $5 million contract this season. The emergence of Adem Bona as a legitimate backup center lessens the 76ers need to keep Drummond on the roster behind Joel Embiid.

  Moving Drummond without little to no salary coming back in return would put the Sixers within range of avoiding the luxury tax. It would also open an additional roster spot for Philadelphia, who may want to convert both Dominick Barlow and Jabari Walker from their two-way contracts.

  The 76ers could also move veteran guard Eric Gordon, who is on a veteran minimum deal. That would save Philadelphia roughly $2.3 million towards the luxury tax. As with Drummond, it would also open a roster spot.

• NBA Moves Up Start Times For Hawks-Pacers, Hornets-Sixers On Monday

  The NBA continues to adjust their schedule due to severe inclement weather across the United States. This includes start-time changes for two games on Monday, January 26.

  The Atlanta Hawks will now host the Indiana Pacers at 1:30 PM ET.

  The Charlotte Hornets will now host the Philadelphia 76ers at 3:00 PM ET.

  The league postponed two games on Sunday due to weather-related issues. The Denver Nuggets at Memphis Grizzlies game was postponed due to severe weather in the Memphis area. The Dallas Mavericks game at the Milwaukee Bucks was postponed after the Mavs team plane was unable to fly out of Dallas.

• Charles Bassey, Sixers Signing 10 Day Contract

  The Philadelphia 76ers are signing center Charles Bassey to a 10 Day contract. Bassey will give the Sixers some additional depth at center, while also allowing the team to work around eligibility issues for their two-way players.

  Bassey has been playing for the Santa Cruz Warriors of the G League. In 10 G League games, the 6-foot-10 big man has averaged 18.7 points, 10.7 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game. Bassey played for the 76ers as a rookie, in addition to other NBA stints with San Antonio Spurs and the Memphis Grizzlies.

  By signing Bassey to a 10 Day contract, the Sixers bring their roster to 15 players on standard contracts. That will allow Philadelphia to continue to have Dominick Barlow and Jabari Walker active for NBA games.

  Each team is allowed 90 total active NBA games for their two-way players when they have fewer than 15 players signed to standard contracts. The 76ers reached this limit when Barlow and Walker were both active for the team's game against the New York Knicks on Sunday.
