The Sixers have reportedly filled their third and final two-way contract slot.\u00a0<\/p>\n

ESPN\u2019s Shams Charania <\/a>reported Thursday night that the team has agreed to a two-way deal with Jabari Walker. Hunter Sallis<\/a> and Alex Reese <\/a>are their two other players on two-way contracts, which generally involve players splitting time between an NBA team and its G League affiliate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Walker was an unrestricted free agent after the Trail Blazers did not extend a qualifying offer<\/a>. Portland picked Walker at No. 57 overall in the 2022 NBA draft out of Colorado and he spent his first three professional seasons with the franchise. <\/p>\n

The 22-year-old forward was officially listed at 6-foot-7, 237 pounds last year. He logged 12.5 minutes per game and averaged 5.2 points and 3.5 rebounds. <\/p>\n

Walker had his best NBA year from three-point range by a wide margin, hitting 38.9 percent of his shots beyond the arc (28 of 72). He made of all six of his long-distance attempts in a March 5 game against the Celtics.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Walker\u2019s father is Samaki Walker<\/a>, who played a decade in the NBA and won a championship with the 2001-02 Lakers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Sixers have reportedly filled their third and final two-way contract slot.\u00a0 ESPN\u2019s Shams Charania reported Thursday night…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":37041,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[42],"tags":[1260,20198,293,3123,30137,30138,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-37040","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-nba","9":"tag-nba-free-agency","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-philadelphia-76ers","12":"tag-sixers-analysis","13":"tag-sixers-news","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114792880285788589","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37040","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37040"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37040\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37041"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37040"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37040"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37040"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
