Eric Gordon has declined his $3.4 million player option for the 2025-26 season with the Philadelphia 76ers. Gordon, however, could still re-sign with the Sixers in free agency. The Sixers would have had a $3.4 million cap hit if Gordon opted-in whereas re-signing on a one-year deal will lower the cap hit to $2.3 million.
Gordon, who is represented by Todd Ramasar, appeared in 39 games in his second season with the Sixers and averaged 6.8 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 19.7 minutes. Gordon shot 40.9 percent from three.
The Sixers have a somewhat crowded backcourt with Tyrese Maxey, Jared McCain, VJ Edgecombe and possibly a re-signed Quentin Grimes.
