Caleb Love signed a two-way contract with the Philadelphia 76ers after being released by the Portland Trail Blazers earlier this month. Love, a former standout at both UNC and Arizona, had a productive rookie season, averaging 10.4 points per game in 49 appearances with the Blazers. Portland's crowded backcourt, compounded by the addition of Ja Morant, led to the decision to let him go. The 76ers aim to benefit from Love's scoring prowess, previously ranked seventh among the league's two-way players by FanSided. If Love improves his efficiency, he may soon earn a more permanent role with the team.
