The Philadelphia 76ers have converted guard Jeff Dowtin to a standard contract for the remainder of the season. Dowtin has been playing on a two-way deal with the Sixers since early March.
Dowtin has appeared in just seven games with Philadelphia since being signed. He has experienced with 76ers head coach Nick Nurse, from their time together with the Toronto Raptors last season.
Philadelphia had two open roster spots to fill. Dowtin will give the team some additional backcourt depth. The status of De’Anthony Melton is unknown, as he’s still dealing with a back injury. Tyrese Maxey has also missed time with various injuries throughout the season.
