Sixers Sign Jabari Walker to New Deal
17 Feb
Summary
- Jabari Walker is set to sign a two-year contract with the Sixers.
- Walker reached his two-way contract game limit before the All-Star break.
- He has averaged 3.7 points and 3.1 rebounds in 45 games played.
Jabari Walker is nearing a new agreement with the Sixers, reportedly signing a two-year contract. This development follows Walker reaching the 50-game limit for two-way players, making him ineligible for the team's last four games prior to the All-Star break.
During his 45 appearances this season, the 23-year-old power forward has recorded averages of 3.7 points and 3.1 rebounds across 12.1 minutes per contest. Despite a 27.0 percent three-point shooting percentage, Walker has impressed the Sixers with his rebounding and willingness to take on various roles.
Walker's journey to a standard contract highlights his determination, as he expressed in July that he never envisioned starting on a two-way deal. He views his current position as a significant opportunity, grateful for the chance to play with a winning team.
With Walker's impending signing, Dalen Terry and MarJon Beauchamp will be the team's current two-way players. This move brings the Sixers to a full roster of 15 players on standard NBA contracts.
