The Philadelphia 76ers are hosting a veteran minicamp featuring Dennis Smith Jr. and several other participants, including Eugene Omoruyi, Malcolm Hill, and Judah Mintz. This two-day camp focuses on assessing players for minimum-salary and two-way contracts, with many attendees having prior G League experience. Smith, a former lottery pick, had notable performances early in his career but struggled with injuries, averaging 9.7 points and 4.2 assists over seven seasons with multiple teams. Mintz, after joining the Sixers, showcased his scoring ability in the G League.

Syracuse University, under new head coach Adrian Autry, achieved a 20-win season for the first time since 2014 but failed to qualify for the NCAA Tournament for the third consecutive year, leading to significant roster changes.

Key departures include leading scorer Judah Mintz and several other players who entered the transfer portal. Freshman Donnie Freeman and junior J.J. Starling are among the players to watch as the team prepares for a challenging schedule, including games against Duke and North Carolina.

The Philadelphia 76ers have made significant roster changes, waiving four players following their recent victory against the Brooklyn Nets. President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey announced the moves, which involve players previously signed on Exhibit 10 deals.

Max Fiedler, Judah Mintz, Isaiah Mobley, and Jordan Tucker are the players affected. Each has a unique background, with Fiedler and Mintz going undrafted in the 2024 NBA Draft after college careers, while Tucker has experience in the G League and overseas. Mobley, drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers, also has G League experience.

Although these players won't be part of the Sixers' final roster, they may have a chance to join the Delaware Blue Coats, the Sixers' G League affiliate, for the upcoming season.
