The Philadelphia 76ers have taken a more muted approach to the 2025 free agency period compared to their aggressive moves last season. Key signings include Trendon Watford on a two-year deal worth $5.3 million and veteran Eric Gordon returning on a minimum contract. However, the team lost Guerschon Yabusele to the New York Knicks for two years at $12 million.

In the broader context of the Eastern Conference, teams like the Atlanta Hawks and Cleveland Cavaliers have made notable acquisitions, while the Indiana Pacers suffered a significant loss with Myles Turner moving to the Milwaukee Bucks. The 76ers remain focused on ensuring the health of stars Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey, as their well-being will be pivotal in the team's quest for Eastern Conference dominance and a potential return to the NBA Finals.
