Charles Bassey\u2019s reportedly coming back to where his NBA career began.<\/p>\n

The Sixers are set to sign the 25-year-old center to a 10-day contract, ESPN\u2019s Shams Charania reported Saturday night. <\/a>The Sixers plan to officially sign Bassey on Monday, The Philadelphia Inquirer\u2019s Keith Pompey reported.<\/a><\/p>\n

Sixers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey used the 53rd overall pick in the 2021 NBA draft to take Bassey. He appeared in 23 NBA games a rookie, averaging 3.0 points and 2.7 rebounds in 7.3 minutes per contest. Bassey had an impressive night in the Sixers\u2019 Nov. 18, 2021 win over the Nuggets<\/a>, posting 12 points, seven rebounds and three blocks against Denver and superstar big man Nikola Jokic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Sixers waived Bassey in October of 2022. He\u2019s appeared in 92 NBA games over the last four years and also suffered two season-ending left knee injuries. Bassey has played 10 times this season for the Santa Cruz Warriors in the G League and averaged 18.7 points, 10.7 rebounds and 2.3 blocks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As PhillyVoice\u2019s Adam Aaronson detailed<\/a>, adding Bassey brings the Sixers\u2019 roster to 15 players, which enables Jabari Walker and Dominick Barlow to remain on two-way contracts for the time being. If the Sixers hadn\u2019t made any moves, both Barlow and Walker would\u2019ve been ineligible to stay on the roster starting Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Barlow and Walker have each contributed much more than the typical two-way player and appear strong candidates to eventually be converted to standard contracts. The 2026 trade deadline is Feb. 5 at 3 p.m. ET.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Charles Bassey\u2019s reportedly coming back to where his NBA career began.
