Latest on Quentin Grimes and the Philadelphia 76ers’ attempts to agree contract extension

Grimes and the 76ers have not reached a deal

The 76ers have done well with their talented players, as they will have Jared McCain and Joel Embiid again. They also have rookie V.J. Edgecombe looking to prove himself ahead of his first season.

Grimes should have natural chemistry with all the 76ers players. The organization needs to pay him, as he is a priority for the team. Even though his position is unclear when everyone is healthy, he will be a great asset. Coach Nick Nurse knows how to balance his roster, so Grimes would keep shining.

According to league sources and The Athletic’s Kelly Iko, Grimes and the 76ers have not moved on negotiations. This might worry the 76ers, but both parties are hoping to resolve the situation in the upcoming week.

Retaining Grimes is key to the 76ers’ future, as he was an impressive player. The 76ers would love to stockpile as much talent as possible, and Grimes is one of their top players. Philadelphia might surprise people, as they have the potential to be a top Eastern Conference team again.

The 76ers will be a challenging team to play against

Most people’s eyes are on the New York Knicks and Cleveland Cavaliers for the Eastern Conference’s top spot. They deserve the hype as the current top teams in the East. However, people won’t expect the 76ers to make some noise in the 2025-26 season.

Embiid might not be perfectly healthy, but he will still produce at a high level. McCain wants to follow up on his promising rookie campaign. Tyrese Maxey wants to maintain his All-Star form, and Paul George is ready to redeem himself.

This Philadelphia roster is better than many fans think. If the Knicks and Cavaliers struggle, the 76ers could capitalize. To do that, they must keep their roster healthy and maintain their depth. With Grimes on the roster and a new contract, the 76ers can continue this positive path.
