Philadelphia adds former 1st round pick to two-way deal

The Philadelphia 76ers to have added the former first-round pick Marjon Beauchamp on a two-way deal, giving up rookie quarterback Hunter Sallis to create a starter, according to Tony Jones of the Athletics. Philadelphia made the move after a 114-106 loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday.

Beauchamp, 25, was selected 24th overall in the 2022 NBA Draft by the Milwaukee Bucks. In three NBA seasons, he appeared in 135 regular season games with the Bucks, Los Angeles Clippers and New York Knicks. During that span, he averaged 4.1 points, 1.9 rebounds and 0.6 assists in roughly 11 minutes per game.

His NBA role diminished after his first two seasons in Milwaukee, and the team traded him to Los Angeles in February 2025. in the deal that sent Kevin Porter Jr. to Milwaukee. Beauchamp appeared in three games for the Clippers before being waived by the team in March, then spent time on a two-way deal with New York.

The Sixers first brought Beauchamp to the organization on a 10-man deal during the 2025 preseason and later retained his G League rights after waiving him. He joined the Delaware Blue Coats, where his production greatly exceeded his NBA numbers. In seven appearances across the G League Tip-Off Tournament and Winter Exhibition, Beauchamp averaged 20.7 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game while posting a .500 field goal percentage, 45.2 percent from three-point range and 93.3 percent from the free throw line. Elsewhere with Delaware, he averaged 26.5 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists while shooting 50 percent from beyond the arc.

Beauchamp also raised his profile internationally by representing Team USA in qualifying games for the 2027 FIBA ​​World Cup. In two games against Nicaragua, he scored a combined 50 points on 18-of-26 shooting, including 9-of-14 from three-point range, while adding six assists, five rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 50 minutes. Those performances set a Team USA record for points in a two-game qualifying period.

The 76ers will now deploy Beauchamp as their third two-way player alongside Dominique Barlow and Jabari Walker, who have both logged significant rotation minutes this season. Philadelphia has already used 58 of its assigned two-way actives, carrying only 14 standard contracts, a factor that limits how often Beauchamp can dress. Based on the timing, his personal availability is projected to be around 30 to 32 NBA games.

Meanwhile, Salis, 22, appeared in seven games for the Sixers after signing as an undrafted free agent after the 2025 NBA Draft.He averaged 12.2 points per game in the G League while shooting 38.5 percent overall and 18.8 percent from three. With the switch, the 76ers add a 6-foot-7 wing with NBA experience and strong recent production, continuing to actively use two-way contracts as a tool for roster management.
