Sixers face decision on Trendon Watford's team option before deadline

The Philadelphia 76ers, having appointed Mike Gansey as the new President of Basketball Operations, must decide by June 29 whether to exercise Trendon Watford's $2.8 million team option for the 2026-27 season. Watford, who signed a two-year deal in the 2025 offseason, struggled during the 2025-26 season, playing only 53 games due to injuries and averaging 6.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.5 assists. Despite his underwhelming performance, Watford showed potential with a 21.8% assist percentage, indicating his capability to contribute offensively. The team may consider keeping him for the upcoming season to evaluate his performance when healthy.
