Walker agreed to a two-year, $3.35 million contract with the76ers on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Walker had been signed to a two-way deal with Philadelphia, but because he had exhausted his eligibility at the NBA level after he was active for the maximum 50 games, the 76ers upgraded him to a standard contract to ensure that he'll be available coming out of the All-Star break. Before using up his eligibility and not appearing in any of the 76ers' last four games, Walker had been a fringe member of the rotation. In his 45 appearances (six starts) so far this season, Walker averaged 3.7 points, 3.1 rebounds and 0.5 assists in 12.1 minutes per game.

Payne is expected to sign with the76ers for the rest of the season, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports Monday.

The veteran guard is securing a buyout in Europe with Partizan Belgrade. Payne has a lot of NBA experience and has a chance to carve out a rotation role with the 76ers. Across 477 career regular-season games, Payne holds averages of 7.8 points and 3.2 assists.

Beauchamp closed with 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two assists and two rebounds across eight minutes during Team White's 37-25 win over Team Blue in the G League Next Up Game semifinals Sunday.

Beauchamp turned in an efficient game-high 14 points in the semifinals to lead his team to the championship game, when he provided eight points (2-2 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT) in nine minutes during a 31-29 loss to Team Black. The two-way player has appeared in just two outings for the76ers this season, during which he has averaged 9.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.5 steals in 18.0 minutes per contest. Over 21 G League outings with the Delaware Blue Coats in 2025-26, the 2022 first-rounder has averaged 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.4 steals in 37.2 minutes per contest.

Edgecombe was named the Rising Stars MVP on Friday and posted six points (2-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal across nine minutes in Team Vince's 25-24 win over Team Melo in the championship game.

Edgecombe closed the championship game with a pair of free throws to seal the victory and led his squad with six points. The rookie first-rounder also paced Team Vince in its 41-36 win over Team T-Mac in the semifinals, hitting the game-winning jumper and posting 17 points (6-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 13 minutes.

Barlow produced 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 138-89 loss to the Knicks.

With Paul George suspended until late March, Barlow has a clear runway to the starting job at power forward for the next month and a half or so. Barlow has delivered fairly quality numbers when part of the first unit, averaging 11.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 26.6 minutes per game while shooting 55.9 percent from the floor over his last eight contests as a starter.

Edgecombe ended with 14 points (6-16 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 138-89 loss to the Knicks.

While Edgecombe has remained relatively productive, his efficiency has taken a dip as of late. Over his last 12 outings, the rookie first-rounder is shooting just 39.8 percent from the floor and 27.4 percent from downtown while averaging 11.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.4 steals in 34.1 minutes per game. Edgecombe will be looking to regain his shooting touch after the All-Star break.

Maxey logged 32 points (9-21 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 11-13 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 138-89 loss to New York.

Maxey received very little support in Wednesday's rout, but he was able to put up at least 26 points for the sixth time in his last eight games. With Paul George already out via suspension, Maxey would likely continue to take on all the usage he can handle if Joel Embiid (knee) isn't ready to take the court following the All-Star break. Over his last eight outings, the All-Star guard is averaging 27.3 points, 6.3 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 3.1 three-pointers in 35.9 minutes per game.

Drummond will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Adem Bona will replace Drummond in the first unit for Wednesday's game, and it'll be interesting to see how many minutes Drummond earns as a reserve with Joel Embiid (knee) watching from the sidelines. In 20 games off the bench this season, Drummond has posted averages of 5.2 points and 6.8 rebounds per game.

Bona is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Joel Embiid (knee) is out Wednesday, and76ers head coach Nick Nurse is opting to start Adem Bona in his place. It'll be Bona's first start since Nov. 5, as Nurse has frequently turned to Andre Drummond when Embiid has been sidelined. Bona has played 23 or more minutes nine times this season, averaging 9.2 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.0 blocks in those games.

Watford won't start Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.

Dominick Barlow is back in action following a one-game absence due to an illness, pushing Watford to the second unit. Over his last five appearances off the bench, the 25-year-old power forward has averaged 7.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 19.6 minutes per contest.

Barlow (illness) will play Wednesday versus the Knicks, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.

Joel Embiid (knee) will skip Wednesday's game, so Barlow could see some more shots and minutes falling his way in his return from a one-game absence. Barlow is averaging 8.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 0.6 blocks per game this season.

Grimes (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Grimes will miss a second consecutive contest due to an illness, and he'll have until Feb. 19 against the Hawks to recover. With the 25-year-old guard unavailable, Kyle Lowry and Justin Edwards will likely continue to see an uptick in minutes, while Dalen Terry could enter the rotation.

Embiid (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Embiid will miss a second straight game heading into the All-Star break due to right knee injury management. In his stead, look for Andre Drummond and Adem Bona to handle most of the center minutes. Embiid's next chance to play will come Feb. 19 against Atlanta.
