For the first time in a long time, the Sixers will not participate in the Salt Lake City Summer League, and instead will open play in Vegas.
The Vegas Summer League tips off later this week and the Sixers on Monday announced their roster for the games.
It’s a rookie-heavy roster, with Johni Broome being the only player with NBA experience. The second-year big man is looking to bounce back after an underwhelming rookie campaign
which saw him miss time with a torn meniscus late in the regular season.
The headliner of the roster is the 22nd overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, Labaron Philon Jr. The rookie out of Alabama will likely factor into the team’s rotation this season, even with the signing of veteran guard Anferenee Simons.
There are a couple names that might like familiar to you true Sixers sickos. Forward Saint Thomas and big man Drew Cisse both spent time with the Delaware Blue Coats last season.
Meanwhile, Duke Miles, a bulldog guard who played his final collegiate season at Vanderbilt, was reportedly signed to an Exhibit 10 contract. That means Miles will be in camp with the Sixers, but will be financially-incentivized to join the Blue Coats over another G League affiliate.
The Sixers begin play this Thursday, July 9, as they go up against the Detroit Pistons at 5:30 p.m. on Amazon Prime. They then play Saturday, July 11, against the Indiana Pacers at 5:30 p.m., and Tuesday, July 14, vs. the Houston Rockets at 4 p.m. Those games will also be in Prime. They’ll close out the slate on Wednesday, July 15, against the Orlando Magic at 4 p.m. on ESPNU.
There will be more games after that. The top-four teams will participate in a playoff. The other 26 teams will play one additional game.
