Sixers trade Johni Broome, second-round pick to Clippers for cash considerations

The Philadelphia 76ers completed a roster move to clear cap space for their high-profile additions. The team traded Johni Broome and a 2027 second-round pick to the Los Angeles Clippers in exchange for cash considerations.

This transaction allows the Sixers to stay under the first apron while finalizing contracts for LeBron James and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. Broome, who was selected 35th overall in the 2026 NBA Draft, faced limited playing time during his rookie season and struggled with a meniscus injury. The team opted to move his contract rather than waive other roster spots.

With this deal finished, the 76ers now have 14 players signed to standard deals. The move represents the final stage of an aggressive offseason strategy designed to surround their stars with a roster that fits the current financial constraints. The team intends to leave one two-way roster spot open as they look toward the upcoming season.
