The Sixers have officially re-signed forward Marcus Bagley, the team announced today in a press release (Twitter link).
Bagley’s first 10-day contract with Philadelphia expired overnight on Wednesday. Today’s announcement refers to Bagley’s second agreement as another 10-day deal, but the regular season ends on April 13, so it will technically only cover nine days.
The 23-year-old played five games for the 76ers over the course of his first 10 days with the team, averaging 4.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 20.0 minutes per contest. He made 75% of his two-point attempts (9-of-12) but none of his three-point tries (0-of-12), for an overall FG% of 37.5.
Bagley went undrafted in 2023 after three injury-riddled seasons with Arizona State. He has been a member of Philadelphia’s organization ever since, initially playing for the 76ers’ Summer League squad that year and spending the past two seasons with the team’s G League affiliate, the Delaware Blue Coats.
The Sixers currently have a full 15-man roster, but they have exceeded that limit by being granted multiple hardship exceptions due to several injuries. Both Bagley and Colin Castleton are on hardship deals with Philadelphia (Phillip Wheeler‘s 10-day hardship contract expired overnight on Friday).
