These signings provide the 76ers with additional depth as they finalize their squad for the new campaign. The inclusion of these players on non-guaranteed deals allows the franchise to evaluate their performance during the preseason period before making final decisions on the composition of their roster.
Background on the New Signings
Tacko Fall returns to the NBA landscape after a stint overseas. The 7-foot-6 center, who previously featured in the league during the 2021-22 season with the Cleveland Cavaliers, most recently competed for the Ningbo Rockets in the Chinese Basketball Association. His presence in camp will offer the coaching staff a look at his interior presence and size.
Jameer Nelson Jr. enters the fold following a productive season with the Stockton Kings in the G League. During his 25 appearances, he demonstrated scoring efficiency by averaging 18.9 points on 47.5% shooting, while also contributing 3.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game. His arrival in Philadelphia is notable given his family ties to the front office, as his father, Jameer Nelson, currently serves as the 76ers' executive vice president of basketball operations.
Rounding out the group is Saint Thomas, who is already familiar with the organization's developmental system. Having spent the previous season with the Delaware Blue Coats, the 76ers' G League affiliate, Thomas brings continuity to the camp. During his time with the Blue Coats, he recorded averages of 12.5 points on 46.6% shooting, alongside 5.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists per contest. The team will look to leverage his experience within their system as they head into the preseason.
