76ers Sign Chuma Okeke to 10-Day Contract After Jared McCain Injury

The Philadelphia 76ers are addressing their need for additional backcourt talent after the indefinite absence of Jared McCain due to a knee injury. In response, they signed former Auburn standout Chuma Okeke to a 10-day contract, giving him the chance to contribute following his time in the G League. Okeke, who has struggled with injuries in the past, averaged 17.3 points and 7.8 rebounds in the G League this season, and could provide depth to the 76ers' roster. Meanwhile, the team is also eyeing a potential buyout for sharpshooter Bojan Bogdanovic, who could help ease the offensive burden on Tyrese Maxey. The 76ers are keen to enhance their outside shooting, particularly with Oubre's current struggles from beyond the arc. As the season progresses, both Okeke and the prospect of Bogdanovic joining could be pivotal for Philadelphia's playoff aspirations.
