The Sixers have added three more names to their training camp mix, signing Tacko Fall, Jameer Nelson Jr. and Saint Thomas to Exhibit 10 contracts, a source told PhillyVoice.
Those deals are non-guaranteed, but they do come with a path into camp and, if a player is waived and then joins the team’s G League affiliate, a signing bonus can be attached. Philadelphia has leaned on Exhibit 10 contracts in recent years to stock the Delaware Blue Coats, though PhillyVoice reported last month that the team had kept its third and final two-way slot open and could use it on an Exhibit 10 player who flashes in the opening stretch of October.
Each of the three newcomers also has two-way eligibility if he separates himself early in camp.
Fall brings the most NBA experience of the group. The 7-foot-6 Senegal native has appeared in 37 NBA games across three seasons with the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers from 2019-2022, posting career averages of 6.2 minutes, 2.2 points and 2.1 rebounds.
Nelson, meanwhile, is the son of Sixers Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Jameer Nelson and is now on his third straight Exhibit 10 deal. He was in camp with the San Antonio Spurs in 2024 and the Sacramento Kings in 2025, and the point guard turned in a strong G League season with the Stockton Kings, averaging 19.9 points, 3.7 assists and 3.2 rebounds per game.
Thomas is already familiar to the organization. The undrafted free agent signed by the Sixers last offseason played for their Summer League group in 2025 and 2026, and between those runs he logged 12.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists across 36 games, including 21 starts, for the Blue Coats.
After signing guard Duke Miles to an Exhibit 10 deal following the 2026 NBA Draft, the Sixers had five open training camp spots. Two remain.

Victor Oladipos Comeback Push Puts The Sixers In A Tough Spot
Victor Oladipo has made it clear he still believes there is a place for him in the NBA, writing in a Players Tribune letter that he can help a winning team. For the 76ers, the idea fits a franchise that has often been willing to give players another look, especially those trying to rebuild value or revive a career. Philadelphia can understand the appeal of a veteran guard looking for one more chance to matter.
The problem is timing. The Sixers already have a crowded backcourt and a string of recent additions that make it harder to imagine a clean fit this season, even if the interest is real. For a player trying to force his way back into the league, that leaves Philadelphia in an awkward spot: a team that could appreciate the story, but may not have the room to make it work.

LeBrons First Sixers Season Comes With Real History At Stake
LeBron James is beginning his first season with the 76ers, and even at this stage of a career that has already stretched into a 24th NBA season, there is still a long list of history within reach. The opening of another year brings fresh significance for Philadelphia, because James is chasing landmarks that would add another layer to an already unmatched rsum, from climbing the all-time assists leaderboard to inching toward the top spot in regular-season wins.
There is also the broader chase for a fifth championship, which would give the 76ers a veteran centerpiece with a chance to reshape the leagues postseason conversation yet again. James has spent so long in the middle of NBA history that he has played against a remarkable share of the sports players across eras, and even his age-related scoring records underscore how unusual this run has been. For Philadelphia, the season is not just about what James can still do, but which pieces of history he might leave behind while doing it. [Read more 🡒]
Jaylen Brown Just Changed How 76ers Fans May View This Rivalry
Jaylen Browns latest public comment offered a softer picture of one of the NBAs most closely watched relationships. Speaking at a childrens basketball camp, Brown called Jayson Tatum his funniest teammate, a line that stood in sharp contrast to the years of talk that tried to turn their partnership into something colder than it appeared from the outside.
For 76ers fans, the context matters because Brown and Tatum spent years together as longtime Celtics teammates before Brown was traded to Philadelphia, and the rivalry carries a different feel when familiar faces are involved. There have been reports of tension between Brown and Bostons management, but nothing confirmed about a personal rift with Tatum, which leaves plenty of room for this rivalry to be viewed less as a breakup and more as a complicated basketball relationship that still has layers to it.
