Forward Jabari Walker Signs with New Team: Report
PHILADELPHIA COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, JUL 4 – Jabari Walker fills the 76ers' final two-way roster spot after Portland declined a $2.58 million qualifying offer, bringing NBA experience and improved shooting to Philadelphia.
- Jabari Walker signed a two-way contract with the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday, joining their maximum three two-way player roster.
- Walker became an unrestricted free agent after the Portland Trail Blazers declined to offer him a $2.58 million qualifying tender following the 2024-25 offseason.
- The 6-foot-9 forward spent three years with the Trail Blazers after being taken 57th overall in the 2022 NBA draft and achieved a career-best three-point shooting percentage of 38.9% last season.
- During the 2023-24 season, Walker played in 72 games, starting 23 of them, and reached personal bests by averaging 8.9 points, 7.1 rebounds, and over 23 minutes per game, while delivering reliable defensive contributions despite not having ideal athleticism for his role.
- Walker’s signing adds experience to the 76ers’ youth-focused strategy, but he is not currently scheduled to participate in upcoming summer leagues and will fill Philadelphia’s third and final two-way slot.
