The Philadelphia 76ers are gearing up for a pivotal offseason after a challenging season marred by injuries. With the No. 3 overall pick in the upcoming draft, they hope to inject new talent into a roster that needs rejuvenation. However, the team faces the challenge of managing their 11 free agents amid limited cap space, following a significant spending spree in the previous offseason.

Among the most pressing concerns is the future of Eric Gordon, who has a player option for $3.4 million. Despite a season shortened by wrist surgery, Gordon showed flashes of his shooting prowess, averaging 6.8 points on 42.6% shooting. His strong performance in January, where he shot over 52% from three-point range, indicates potential if he can stay healthy. The Sixers are poised to retain him, as he can space the floor effectively, making him a valuable asset in Coach Nick Nurse's system.
