While free agency is still weeks away, there are some housekeeping matters the Philadelphia 76ers and their players have to take care of.
Danuel House Jr., for example, had a $4.3 million player option for the 2023-24 season. It is the second year of a two-year deal he signed in the 2022 offseason.
Per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, House Jr. will pick up that option and remain in Philadelphia. He averaged 4.8 points and 1.7 rebounds while shooting 33.6% from deep in his first season with the Sixers. He was in and out of the rotation, but he remained ready whenever his number was called.

House Jr. will likely battle for minutes with Jalen McDaniels in the 2023-24 season. McDaniels is a free agent, but if he returns the battle for backup minutes will be between those two.
House Jr. had 10 points off the bench in the Game 5 win over the Boston Celtics in the second round.
