Coming out the All-Star break, the Sixers are currently out the playoffs and sitting at 11th in the Eastern Conference. Tyrese Maxey explains why he believes this team can get to where they want to be.
The Sixers are reportedly filling one of their open two-way contract slots with Alex Reese.
ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Thursday that Reese is signing a two-way deal with the team. The contract conversions of Justin Edwards and Jared Butler created two available two-way spots for the Sixers.
Reese, 25, is listed at 6-foot-9, 245 pounds and has played this year with the G League’s Rip City Remix.
