Philadelphia is planning to sign two-way forward Jabari Walker to a new two-year contract and add veteran guard Cam Payne for the remainder of the season, according to league sources.
The transactions would keep Walker in the organization on a new deal while bringing in Payne as an in-season backcourt addition. Walker has been with the 76ers on a two-way arrangement, and the new contract would extend his stay beyond his current status.
Payne, a veteran guard, is expected to join Philadelphia for the rest of the season, giving the team an additional option in the guard rotation as it navigates the remaining games.
What it means
With the season ongoing, the 76ers are positioning their roster with added depth at multiple spots. Walker’s new agreement would provide continuity on the wing and in the frontcourt, while Payne’s arrival offers another experienced ball-handler and perimeter option for the stretch run.
