The Philadelphia 76ers agreed to a two-year, $3 million deal with veteran guard Lonnie Walker IV, his agent told ESPN on Tuesday.

Walker, 26, was a first-round pick (18th overall) by the San Antonio Spurs in 2018 and has also played for the Los Angeles Lakers (2022-23) and Brooklyn Nets (2023-24).

He owns career averages of 9.8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 322 games (88 starts). Walker spent time in the 2024-25 preseason with the Boston Celtics but was waived on Oct. 19.

George S. Langberg of GSL Sports Group told ESPN that Walker had an NBA opt-out in his current contract with Lithuania’s Zalgiris Kaunas of the EuroLeague.
