The Feb. 5 NBA trade deadline is fast approaching, but all remains relatively quiet on the Sixers' front. We got word that the Sixers plan to convert both Dominick Barlow and Jabari Walker from two-way contracts to standard deals, which is completely unsurprising.
The Philadelphia 76ers are in a weird position with the February 5 trade deadline just days away. Two-way players Dominick Barlow and Jabari Walker are not allowed to play another game this season due to an obscure rule in the league.
While the Sixers were nowhere near as active in free agency this past offseason as they were in 2024, they absolutely cooked on the two-way market. Dominick Barlow has started in 29 of their 42 games to date, while Jabari Walker has been a key rotation piece off the bench.

The Philadelphia 76ers are barreling toward a roster decision that should not require debate, hesitation, or internal politics. Dominick Barlow has become too valuable, too steady, and too essential to the team’s rotation to remain on a two-way contract much longer.
