The Philadelphia 76ers have signed 22-year-old guard Hunter Sallis to a two-way contract, marking a strategic move following a challenging season. Sallis expressed confidence in his potential, stating, "They think I'm a steal," referring to the team’s excitement in acquiring him after lacking second-round picks. Although overshadowed by first-round selection VJ Edgecombe, Sallis aims to contribute to the Sixers' push for improvement in a competitive Eastern Conference.

With the team’s recent struggle, finishing 24-58, the front office is hopeful that Sallis will develop into a key player in their rebuilding efforts. Competing for minutes among a crowded guard lineup, his success could signal a revitalization for Philadelphia’s aspirations.
