The NBA has docked the 76ers two second-round draft picks–one in 2023 and one in 2024–for engaging in early free agency discussions during the 2022 offseason, the league announced Monday afternoon.
The league said it conducted an investigation into Philadelphia’s pursuit of free agents P.J. Tucker and Danuel House Jr. and found that the team had engaged in negotiations with the two forwards before the date that such discussions were permitted.
Tucker signed a three-year, $33.2 million deal with the Sixers at the outset of the signing period, while House’s contract spans two years and is worth $8.4 million.
