The Philadelphia 76ers are planning to sign Walker to a new two-year contract and veteran guard Cam Payne for the remainder of the season, according to Shams Charania of ESPN. The roster moves are expected to be officially finalized in the coming days as the team looks to bolster its depth for the current campaign.
Cam Payne makes his return to Philadelphia after spending a portion of the 2023-24 season with the franchise. During his previous tenure with the 76ers, the veteran guard provided a reliable spark off the bench. His familiarity with the organization and the coaching staff is expected to allow for a seamless transition back into the rotation as the team prepares for the final stretch of the season.
In addition to the reunion with Payne, the 76ers are securing Walker on a multi-year agreement. The two-year deal signals the front office's commitment to the player as a part of their longer-term rotation plans. These acquisitions come at a critical juncture for the 76ers as they aim to solidify their standing in the Eastern Conference and ensure they have enough veteran leadership in the locker room.
