The Philadelphia 76ers have made strategic offseason acquisitions to bolster their roster as they aim for a deep playoff run in a competitive Eastern Conference. The team is banking on the veteran experience of Kyle Lowry and Eric Gordon, both of whom have faced injury issues but provide valuable leadership on the court. With Lowry entering his 20th season and Gordon his 18th, their roles will be primarily as mentors to the younger players, including Tyrese Maxey and Jared McCain, while also contributing in limited minutes.

President Daryl Morey highlighted Gordon’s impressive three-point shooting last season and Lowry's potential for effective play despite injury setbacks. Both veterans are expected to guide the team's younger talents while stepping up as needed, particularly if injuries strike again. The Sixers are keen on utilizing their depth while instilling championship mindset and experience through these seasoned players.
