Overview
- The Sixers announced on Saturday that they converted Tacko Fall’s Exhibit 10 camp deal into a two-way contract, a move first reported by ESPN’s Shams Charania and confirmed by the team.
- Under the two-way, Fall can appear in up to 50 regular-season NBA games and is reported to earn about $678,882 while splitting time between Philadelphia and the Delaware Blue Coats.
- The signing addresses an urgent need for size after reserve center Ariel Hukporti tore his Achilles in the preseason and Adem Bona missed time with a foot issue, leaving limited traditional frontcourt depth behind Joel Embiid.
- Fall missed preseason game action with a hip strain but reportedly impressed teammates and staff in training camp and returns to the NBA after several seasons playing professionally in China and New Zealand.
- The move preserves roster flexibility by using the two-way/Exhibit 10 pathway to provide insurance for Embiid without committing a full roster spot, and it gives Fall a chance for short-term NBA call-ups and extended G League play.
