76ers Add Tacko Fall, Jameer Nelson Jr. on Exhibit 10 Camp Deals
Philadelphia signed three players to non-guaranteed training camp contracts, but with 14 spots locked and one two-way open, fantasy relevance is basically zero.
Exhibit 10 deal, no roster path — nothing to do in fantasy yet.
- Fall, Nelson Jr., Saint Thomas on Exhibit 10 deals
- Exhibit 10 bonus tops out at $85,000
- 76ers roster already set at 14 players
- Nelson Jr. averaged 19.9 PPG for Stockton last season
- One two-way slot still open in Philadelphia
The 76ers announced Wednesday that they've signed 7-foot-6 center Tacko Fall, guard Jameer Nelson Jr. and 6-foot-7 wing Saint Thomas to Exhibit 10 contracts. These are training camp deals, not roster locks — each player can earn a bonus of up to $85,000 if he ends up suiting up for Philadelphia's G League affiliate, the Delaware Blue Coats.
Here's the part fantasy managers need to hear first: the Sixers' roster is already set. Philadelphia has 14 players under contract and plans to open the season at that number, with a decision on a 15th coming later. All three signees still have two-way eligibility, and there's one open two-way slot up for grabs, but that's the ceiling here.
Who These Guys Are
Fall is the fan-favorite giant who spent two seasons in Boston and one in Cleveland before dropping out of the NBA in 2022 to play overseas. His most recent US appearance of note was the NBA All-Star Friday Night Celebrity Game last February in Los Angeles. Nelson Jr. — son of Sixers EVP of Basketball Operations Jameer Nelson — has bounced through camps with the Spurs and Kings, and put up a healthy 19.9 points and 3.7 assists per game for the Stockton Kings last season. Thomas was in Philadelphia's camp a year ago and averaged 12.5 points and five boards for the Blue Coats.
The Fantasy Reality
Unlike the NFL, the NBA rarely produces genuine camp battles for roster spots, and this isn't one either. These are developmental and depth moves, most likely funneling toward Delaware rather than the parent club. None of the three carries standard-league or even deep-league relevance in any format right now.
For fantasy purposes, there's nothing to act on. Don't burn a waiver claim, don't stash anyone in a dynasty spot on the strength of an Exhibit 10 deal. The realistic path for all three runs through the G League, and even the lone two-way slot wouldn't translate to meaningful fantasy production on a Sixers team that's built around established names. File it under camp-body news, revisit only if injuries force Philadelphia's hand later in the year.
