Philadelphia 76ers Waive Forward Alex Reese

The Philadelphia 76ers have waived two-way forward Alex Reese to make room for signing forward Dominick Barlow to a two-way contract. Reese, who signed with the 76ers in February 2025, played in 14 NBA games this season, averaging 5.3 points and 3.3 rebounds in 15.3 minutes per game, and also spent time with the Delaware Blue Coats and Rip City Remix in the G League. His recent inactivity in the Summer League was due to Achilles soreness, and his best NBA performance was a 12-point, five-rebound, two-block game against Detroit. Reese’s journey included multiple roster moves, including a brief stint with the Oklahoma City Thunder, where he made his NBA debut but was waived twice. The move to waive Reese was necessary due to NBA roster limits on two-way contracts, and Reese had shown resilience and development after overcoming injuries and time away from basketball.
