Philadelphia 76ers Sign Alex Reese to Two-Way Contract

The Philadelphia 76ers have signed forward/center Alex Reese to a two-way contract as part of their effort to revamp their struggling roster, currently sitting 11th in the Eastern Conference with a 20-35 record. Reese, who averaged 19.3 points in 16 games for the G League's Rip City Remix, is expected to contribute to a team facing challenges largely due to superstar Joel Embiid's knee injury, which has limited him to just 18 games this season. Fans have expressed mixed reactions to the signing, with some confusion arising from the similarity in names to WNBA star Angel Reese. This move follows the recent signing of David Roddy, another player brought in to bolster the team's performance. The Sixers had high expectations this season after acquiring multiple-time All-Star Paul George, but injuries and inconsistencies have hindered their success. Despite his limited experience, Reese's strong shooting performance in the G League positions him as a potential asset for the team's ongoing struggles.
