The Philadelphia 76ers sign Tacko Fall to a two-way contract to strengthen their center rotation as the NBA season approaches. Multiple outlets report the deal ahead of the team’s season opener against the New York Knicks, citing a report from Shams Charania.
The signing comes after injury concerns in the frontcourt, with one report noting Ariel Hukporti suffers a torn Achilles early in preseason. With Fall joining Caleb Love and Rayan Rupert, the 76ers fill all three available two-way contract spots, leaving Tacko as the final occupant of the third slot. The Athletic adds that Fall returns to the NBA after several seasons away, positioning him as another 7-foot-6 option for frontcourt depth.
