Dennis Smith Jr. was the standout participant in the Philadelphia 76ers’ recent veteran minicamp, which began Thursday. The camp, lasting two days, also included players such as Eugene Omoruyi, Malcolm Hill, and Adama Sanogo, among others, according to Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer.
The minicamp serves as part of the 76ers’ offseason efforts to evaluate available talent after a challenging 2024–25 season. Philadelphia finished with a 24–58 record, missing the playoffs for the first time since 2017.
Smith, who signed with the Wisconsin Herd in December 2024 but did not appear in a game, then briefly joined Real Madrid before parting ways in February, is now seeking a return to the NBA. His participation at the camp highlights his intent to make an impact in the upcoming season.
Other veterans attending the minicamp included Malik Williams, Armando Bacot, Javonte Cooke, Judah Mintz, and Leaky Black. The camp allowed the front office and coaching staff to assess veteran options as they prepare for the 2025 NBA Draft and potential trades.
With the 2025 NBA Draft approaching on June 26, the 76ers’ front office will closely monitor performances during workouts to decide which players fit their strategic plans moving forward.
