Forward Jabari Walker Signs with New Team: Report
- Jabari Walker signed a two-way contract with the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday, joining their final two-way roster slot.
- Walker entered free agency as an unrestricted player after the Portland Trail Blazers declined to issue a $2.58 million qualifying offer.
- Walker spent three seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers, appearing in 188 games and starting 24 times, with his most productive year coming in 2023-24 when he averaged a personal best of 8.9 points and 7.1 rebounds per game.
- He improved his three-point shooting to 38.9% and provided solid defense despite lacking ideal athleticism for his small forward position, standing 6-foot-9 and weighing 215 pounds.
- Walker’s signing aligns with the Sixers’ summer goal to get younger, and he will be eligible for up to 50 regular-season games under the two-way contract rules.
