The Philadelphia 76ers are in the midst of preparing for the 2025-26 season, aiming to turn the page and advance their championship aspirations. With a talented roster full of promise, the key will be maintaining health throughout the season to maximize their potential.
In addition to focusing on the main roster, the Sixers are also working to strengthen their presence in the G League. Building a pipeline of younger talent is a priority, providing them with valuable developmental pieces to call upon when necessary.
This strategy was evident on Saturday, as the team officially requested waivers on undrafted rookie Igor Milicic Jr. The expectation is that Milicic will join the Delaware Blue Coats, the Sixers’ G League affiliate.
Milicic had a productive 2024-25 season at Tennessee, averaging 9.4 points and 6.7 rebounds. Prior to that, he also played collegiately for Virginia and Charlotte, showcasing his versatility and potential as a developing player.
By bolstering both their NBA roster and G League affiliate, the Philadelphia 76ers are positioning themselves for sustained success in the seasons ahead.
