The Sixers have signed MarJon Beauchamp and waived Emoni Bates, according to a team press release.
Philadelphia’s intent to sign Beauchamp was reported over the weekend. At the time, the Trail Blazers were said to be “still involved” in the process.
Beauchamp signed an Exhibit 10 deal with Portland on September 30 prior to being waived on Oct. 7, which lined him up to join the Blazers’ G League affiliate, the Rip City Remix. However, given that he officially signed with the 76ers, it’s likely the Blazers have agreed to let him join the Delaware Blue Coats, Philadelphia’s affiliate. Typically, the team that has the player on its roster for more of training camp gets first dibs on making him an affiliate player.
Beauchamp, 25, was the 24th overall pick of the 2022 draft. He spent his first two-and-a-half years with the Bucks, the team that drafted him, prior to being dealt to the Clippers ahead of the February trade deadline. He finished 2024/25 on a two-way contract with the Knicks after being cut by Los Angeles.
The 6’7″ small forward has appeared in a total of 135 regular season games for the Bucks, Clippers and Knicks, averaging 4.1 points and 1.9 rebounds in 10.9 minutes per night, with a shooting line of .430/.354/.718.
Assuming Beauchamp is waived before the season begins and joins the Blue Coats, he would be eligible for a bonus worth up to $85,300 if he spends at least 60 days with the club.
Bates, who was signed to an Exhibit 10 contract last month, was selected with the No. 49 pick out of Eastern Michigan in 2023 by Cleveland. He played sparingly with the Cavaliers across his first two pro seasons as a two-way signing. In 26 appearances, he averaged 3.0 points and 0.8 rebounds per game.
