Sixers sign Max Fiedler

The Philadelphia 76ers have signed Max Fiedler to an Exhibit 10 contract as they prepare for the upcoming training camp. Fiedler, a former Rice University standout, boasts impressive college stats with averages of 9.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game, and he made history as the all-time leader in multiple categories at Rice. His performance in the Summer League was modest, averaging 2.0 points and 2.5 rebounds, but he has earned a chance to compete for a spot on the roster. The Exhibit 10 deal enables Fiedler to potentially earn bonuses if he remains with the Delaware Blue Coats, the team's G League affiliate, for at least 60 days. This signing reflects the Sixers' strategy to bolster their roster depth while developing talent for the future. As they head into the 2024-25 season, the team is focused on both immediate performance and long-term growth.
