The Sixers begin their 2026 offseason with several major unknowns.
As detailed below, we do at least know which players are set to hit free agency and which have contract options.
The deadline for player and team option decisions is June 29. Free agency will formally kick off in earnest on June 30 at 6 p.m. ET. The list below covers the team’s standard roster spots and does not include two-way contract players MarJon Beauchamp and Tyrese Martin.
Kelly Oubre Jr. — unrestricted free agent
Oubre’s been one of the few mainstays in the Sixers’ lineup over the past three years.
He averaged 14.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.4 steals. Oubre dealt with elbow and knee injuries, missing 32 games, but he started all 11 of the Sixers’ postseason contests. The 30-year-old wing had his best three-point shooting season at 36 percent, although that number dipped to 25.6 percent in the playoffs.
Beyond the surface stats, the Sixers have appreciated Oubre’s defense on star wings and knack for cutting off of Joel Embiid.
“I love it here,” he said at his exit interview Sunday. “But this is not my first rodeo. I’ve averaged 20 points in this league and still found myself barely getting any contracts. At the end of the day, I’ve learned so much. The game of basketball has reinvented itself to me through different lenses and different eyes throughout my tenure here. I’m forever appreciative of the opportunity to play for this city.
“I obviously don’t like how it ended. I always say I like to finish what I start, and this is a bit sour for me. But at the end of the day, it’s already written. God already has it written upstairs and it’s just going to follow through. I hope I did myself a good service by being more efficient, slowing down and just playing better overall basketball. Just continue to grow as a human being and as a player. It’s already written and we’ll see where the chips fall.”
Quentin Grimes — unrestricted free agent
Grimes’ restricted free agency last summer ended with him accepting the Sixers’ one-year, $8.7 million qualifying offer.
With rookie VJ Edgecombe’s emergence as the Sixers’ starting shooting guard, Grimes served mainly as the team’s sixth man for the 2025-26 campaign. In the regular season, Grimes played 29.4 minutes per game, averaged 13.4 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.3 assists, and shot 33.4 percent from three-point range. He logged 22.1 minutes per game in the playoffs and averaged 6.7 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists.
“I feel like I was able to prove myself every time I stepped on the court,” Grimes said at his exit interview. “If I had more responsibilities or I was in a bench role, just coming in and trying to make an impact any way I can.
“I’m kind of digesting the season as a whole right now. We had a pretty good season, considering everything we went through as a team, battling a whole bunch of stuff. But I haven’t really given any thought to what’s going on after today and what’s going on this summer. It’ll take care of itself, really.”
Andre Drummond — unrestricted free agent
Drummond reached Round 2 of the playoffs for the first time in his career. He split backup center and replacement starter duties with second-year big man Adem Bona.
After struggling with a lingering left big toe injury in the 2024-25 season, Drummond was clearly a healthier, better player. The 32-year-old became a regular three-point shooter for the first time, going 32 for 90 (35.6 percent) from long distance. Drummond also made two triples in the Sixers’ play-in tournament win over the Magic and went 4 for 8 in the playoffs.
“If you would’ve told Andre Drummond at 17 that he was going to make a dagger three, I don’t think he would’ve believed you,” Drummond said after the play-in victory. “But there’s a lot of work that I’ve put into it, not only this year but throughout my entire career. I’ve worked countless hours … and the work is showing. Shoutout to (Sixers head coach) Nick Nurse for giving me the green light to shoot those shots.”
Kyle Lowry — unrestricted free agent
The 40-year-old Lowry hardly played outside of garbage time in the 20th season of his NBA career.
Lowry’s been a mentor to many Sixers, including Tyrese Maxey. After Lowry got a rare stint in the Sixers’ Nov. 28 win over the Nets, Maxey called the six-time All-Star and Raptors great “Coach Kyle.”
Dominick Barlow — $3.4 million club option
Barlow went from two-way contract player to steady starter.
While his role diminished in the playoffs, Barlow still received minutes as both a power forward and small-ball center. The 22-year-old New Jersey native posted 7.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.9 steals per game in the regular season.
Trendon Watford — $2.8 million club option
Watford was sidelined for the start of the year by a hamstring injury. Unsurprisingly, the 25-year-old forward had natural chemistry with his close friend Maxey once he suited up. He had some encouraging moments during the regular season, including a 20-point triple-double against the Raptors on Nov. 8, but didn’t crack the Sixers’ playoff rotation.
Dalen Terry — $2.6 million club option
The Sixers converted Terry’s contract from a two-way to a standard NBA deal last month.
The 2022 first-round draft pick made 14 regular-season appearances and averaged 4.1 points, 1.6 assists and 1.6 rebounds in 12.4 minutes per game.
