NBA Rumors: The 3 Players Who Will Leave the Philadelphia 76ers This Summer

It has been a rather disastrous season in the City of Brotherly Love, as the Philadelphia 76ers have dropped from 47 wins to just 24 and now hold the 13th spot in the Eastern Conference. Changes are on the horizon for the Sixers to be able to compete again next season.

Of course, it all starts with the health of Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and the sensational rookie Jared McCain. When considering which players from the Sixers will not return for the 2025/26 season, many Philadelphia fans would like to include Paul George, but his astronomical contract (perhaps only surpassed by Bradley Beal as the worst contract in the NBA), with three years and over 160 million dollars still to be executed, makes him practically untouchable.

Kyle Lowry

At 39 years old, it seems that Father Time has caught up with the former world champion. A hip injury limited him to just 35 games in the 2024-25 season, and when he played, he only averaged 3.9 points and 2.7 assists while shooting 35% from the field and 33% from beyond the three-point line.

Now a free agent, and after 19 seasons, this is not exactly how he wants to go out, but he might be better off staying as a coach, which is mostly what he did for the majority of the season, albeit unofficially.

Eric Gordon

Another grizzled veteran of the NBA wars, Gordon has a player option for the upcoming season of 3.4 million dollars; however, even if he picks it up, the Sixers are more likely to use him as salary filler in a trade to move on from the 36-year-old. Like Lowry, his availability was hampered by injuries, and he played only 39 games. It should be time for Philadelphia to stick to the old adage, 'out with the old, in with the new'.

Alex Reese

Reese, a rookie who will soon turn 26, didn't make an impression that is likely to keep him with the Sixers, and as a free agent, he is unlikely to return. He averaged 5.3 points in 14 games (15 minutes per night).
