Report: 76ers reached out to Spurs about acquiring No. 2 pick o2w20

The Philadelphia 76ers are in the process of exploring all options to land an impact player in the 2025 draft, sources told The Philadelphia Inquirer's Keith Pompey, who adds that the franchise reached out to the San Antonio Spurs about acquiring the No. 2 pick. 6r4d26

The Sixers currently hold the third overall pick.

Rutgers star Dylan Harper is widely expected to be taken second overall behind Duke phenom Cooper Flagg, and the Sixers desperately need a point guard to pair with Tyrese Maxey in the backcourt.

Harper averaged 19.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 4.0 assists with Rutgers this past season and was named to the All-Big Ten third team.

Philadelphia is reportedly split on selecting Harper's college teammate, Ace Bailey, if it fails to move up in the draft.

The Sixers may view Baylor's VJ Edgecombe or Texas' Tre Johnson as better fits, per Pompey.

Philly missed the playoffs this season for the first time since 2017 and finished 13th in the East at 24-58. Joel Embiid and Paul George both missed significant time due to injuries.

The NBA draft will take place June 25-26.
