The Philadelphia 76ers made their first move of the anticipated free agency period by bringing in Trendon Watford on a reported 2-year $5.3 million deal. The Sixers will look to Watford, 24, to bring his versatile game to both ends of the floor in an effort to help them bounce back from a tough 2024-25 season.

Trendon is a young, dynamic player with a unique skill set who fits nicely with what we’re trying to accomplish on both sides of the ball,” said Sixers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey.
