As the 2018-2019 campaign nears, we’re getting a more clear picture of what the Sixers roster will look like to start the season. NBA teams can have 15 players on their roster (12 active, three inactive) and two two-way players. We already know who the Sixers utilized their two-way contracts on: Demetrius Jackson and Shake Milton. We can assume that three players currently on the preseason roster will likely be cut: Emeka Okafor, Norvel Pelle and Anthony Brown. So we can conclude the Sixers’ Opening Night roster will probably look like this:
