What signing Derrick Walton Jr. means for the Sixers

With everyone’s attention glued in on some Thanksgiving Day football, Sixers president Daryl Morey was working the phones, looking to add to his ever-growing roster. As reported by ESPN.com’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Sixers have signed 25-year-old guard Derrick Walton Jr. to a one-year deal.

The reported deal is non-guaranteed, meaning that this likely signals Walton being brought in as a “camp body”. Walton will get an opportunity to compete for a job during the offseason, only set to remain on the official roster for the regular season if he massively impresses.
