Sixers convert Michael Foster Jr. to two-way deal, waive Charlie Brown Jr.

The Philadelphia 76ers will convert Michael Foster Jr. to a two-way deal and waive Charlie Brown Jr. in the process.

The Philadelphia 76ers get set to open up the 2022-23 season on Tuesday against the Boston Celtics on the road. That means they have a few days to get the roster all set before opening night at TD Garden.

The Sixers have been making a flurry of moves recently to set everything up for the Delaware Blue Coats and on early Sunday morning, they made another move in order to look ahead to the future.

The team will convert undrafted rookie Michael Foster Jr. to a two-way contract and they will waive Charlie Brown Jr. in the process. Brown Jr. held one of the team’s two-way contracts while Foster Jr. was on an exhibit 10 deal after spending the 2021-22 season with G League Ignite.

Foster Jr. averaged 14.8 points and 8.8 rebounds with G League Ignite and he obviously showed enough in the summer league and the preseason to earn a two-way spot with Philadelphia.

Sixers 2022-23 projected depth chart with PJ Tucker, Danuel House Jr.

Here is the projected depth chart for the 2022-23 Philadelphia 76ers after the additions of PJ Tucker and Danuel House Jr.

The last time the Philadelphia 76ers were seen, they were exiting the Eastern Conference semifinals for the fourth time in five seasons after a loss to the Miami Heat in Game 6 at home.

After the defeat, the Sixers went to work rather quickly in the offseason as they made a trade on draft night to acquire De’Anthony Melton and then they brought in PJ Tucker and Danuel House Jr. in free agency. They also signed Trevelin Queen, but Tucker and House Jr. are expected to make a bigger impact at the moment.

While there still could be some moves on the way, at the moment, the Sixers are a good basketball team on paper. It’s time to go through the projected depth chart and see what the Sixers could look like in the 2022-23 season.
