The Philadelphia 76ers have re-signed Pete Nance to a two-way contract after a brief release period, highlighting their need for a 'big' due to injuries to Joel Embiid and Andre Drummond. Nance's only game this season saw him score three points in under three minutes during a win against the Portland Trail Blazers. With the team facing ongoing center shortages, Nance's return comes as the Sixers prepare for a tough matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Alongside Nance, Justin Edwards and Jeff Dowtin Jr. are the other two-way players on the roster. Edwards, having stepped into a more significant role due to injuries, noted the stark differences between college and NBA basketball. Despite limited minutes, he is showing promise, including his experience going up against stars like Kevin Durant. Recent injury updates include Tyrese Maxey, Paul George, and Edwards, with Maxey being questionable for the upcoming game.
