76ers Re-sign Kyle Lowry, Add Okafor, Edwards, Walker for 2025 Season

The Philadelphia 76ers have been active in reshaping their roster following a disappointing 2024-25 season marked by injuries and inconsistency. They re-signed veteran guard Kyle Lowry to a one-year deal, hoping his veteran presence and leadership will help the team return to the conference finals, despite his declining stats last season. The team also secured young talent by extending the contract of undrafted rookie Justin Edwards, who showed promising scoring ability and versatility during his first NBA season. Meanwhile, former first-round pick Jahlil Okafor has signed with Levanga Hokkaido in Japan, signaling a likely end to his NBA career after multiple stints with various teams and overseas experience. Adding to their youth movement, the 76ers signed Jabari Walker on a two-way contract, aiming to benefit from his rebounding skills and physical play as he transitions from the Portland Trail Blazers. These moves reflect the 76ers' strategy to blend experienced veterans with emerging players as they prepare for a rebound season.
