Jabari Walker, who has spent the previous three seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers, will sign a two-way deal with the Sixers. He stands at 6-foot-9 and averaged 5.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 0.6 assists while shooting 51.5% from the floor in 60 games in Portland.

ESPN’s Shams Charania has reported that the Sixers will be signing Jabari Walker to a two-way contract. This is the second two-way deal Philadelphia has signed this offseason, reportedly using the first on undrafted free agent Hunter Sallis. With Alex Reese signed as well, the Sixers have all three two-way spots occupied.

Summer league is the time for experimentation. The Sixers will be looking to see what they have in their young pieces so they will have them play plenty of different roles on the floor. For example, VJ Edgecombe will likely play a lot of point guard while Johni Broome will be playing a handful of positions.

The point of summer league is to get young players ready for the NBA. This will be the first go-around for rookies VJ Edgecombe and Johni Broome so it gives them the opportunity to make a good first impression.

After the Sixers held their second practice in preparation for 2025 NBA Summer League, a new face and returning player spoke to the media.
