Sixers to Sign Charles Bassey to One-Year Deal

After a long and drawn-out contract negotiation, it appears the Sixers and rookie center Charles Bassey are finally close to an agreement.

With the 53rd pick in the 2021 NBA draft, the Philadelphia 76ers selected Charles Bassey. After a long wait, the Sixers and Bassey are close to agreeing on a one-year non-guaranteed deal, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
