Philadelphia 76ers Sign Lonnie Walker IV Amid Struggles

The Philadelphia 76ers are struggling this season with a 20-34 record, tied for the 11th seed in the Eastern Conference, following high expectations after signing Paul George. Recent reports indicate that Joel Embiid may require another surgery on his left knee, further complicating the team's playoff aspirations. In an effort to improve their roster, the 76ers have signed Lonnie Walker IV to a two-year, $3 million deal, a move seen as low-risk with potential high reward. Walker, a six-year veteran, adds depth and athleticism to a team currently mired in a five-game losing streak. With the trade deadline behind them, the 76ers are hoping these changes can help them secure a play-in spot, especially with some weaker teams in the East. As they prepare to resume the season, the team's future remains uncertain, hinging on the health and performance of their star players.
