Jabari Walker, the talented forward who previously played for the Portland Trail Blazers, has officially signed a two-way contract with the Philadelphia 76ers, according to a report by Shams Charania of ESPN. This move marks a new chapter for Walker, who spent his first three NBA seasons in Portland, participating in a total of 188 games.
As an unrestricted free agent, Walker was not extended a qualifying offer by the Blazers, leading to speculation about his next destination. His skills and relentless work ethic on the court have garnered attention from fans and analysts alike, with many expressing surprise that he remained unsigned for so long. NBA commentator David MacKay tweeted, “Still waiting for someone to sign Jabari Walker. He’s a skilled forward who gives maximum effort every game. A little surprised no one has snapped him up yet. He’s worth it.”
The Philadelphia 76ers have been looking to bolster their roster, and Walker’s addition could provide them with valuable depth and versatility. Known for his tenacity and ability to contribute in various ways, Walker will likely be an asset as the team aims for success in the upcoming season.
With the NBA season approaching, fans are eager to see how Walker will fit into the 76ers’ plans and what impact he will have on the team’s performance. His journey in Philadelphia is just beginning, and all eyes will be on him as he strives to make a mark in the league.
