The Sixers have signed 23-year-old wing Dalen Terry to a two-way contract, the team announced Tuesday.
Terry was the 18th overall pick in the 2022 NBA draft and spent his first three and a half professional seasons with the Bulls. He got dealt twice at this trade deadline — first to the Knicks, then to the Pelicans — before being waived by New Orleans.
Terry was known for his ability to do a little bit of everything entering the draft. Over 204 games with the Bulls, the 6-foot-6 Arizona product averaged 3.5 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.6 steals in 11.1 minutes per contest. Terry tied his career scoring high last February against the Sixers when he posted 17 points on 6-for-8 shooting in the Bulls’ blowout win.
The Sixers had an open two-way slot after signing Dominick Barlow to a standard NBA deal.
Their other two-way players at the moment are Jabari Walker and MarJon Beauchamp. Walker’s status is in limbo. He’s been active for the maximum of 50 NBA games and wasn’t available for the final three games of the Sixers’ West Coast road trip.
“It’s sort of annoying just how it all works, that Jabari can’t play for some games here,” Sixers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey said last week. “ … He’s been a tremendous next-man-up type of contributor. We hope to have his services going forward, but we do have to weigh optimal use of our scarce two roster spots and against the other opportunities as well. So that’ll be written over time, whether or not we do that conversion there.”
