The Philadelphia 76ers filled another void in their rotation Thursday by re-signing veteran guard Kyle Lowry.
With Lowry returning to the Sixers on a one-year deal, the only hole remaining in their rotation is a backup power forward. Whether they decide to place their trust in second-round pick Adem Bona or sign a final veteran to their roster, Philadelphia is ready to compete for an NBA championship next season.
Here’s a look at their full-depth chart as of July 12:
PG: Tyrese Maxey / Kyle Lowry
SG: Kelly Oubre Jr. / Eric Gordon / Jared McCain
SF: Paul George / Ricky Council IV
PF: Caleb Martin / Adem Bona / George
C: Joel Embiid / Andre Drummond / Bona
It’s clear Philadelphia is embracing the ‘small-ball’ style of play that they also embodied during the 2023 season with P.J. Tucker. They may struggle against bigger teams such as the Minnesota Timberwolves and Denver Nuggets, meaning a frontcourt addition of serious size could be crucial for winning a title.
