The Philadelphia 76ers have traded veteran guard Eric Gordon and a 2032 second-round pick swap to the Memphis Grizzlies, NBA insider Shams Charania reported on Thursday, February 5. The move allows Philadelphia to convert two-way player Dominick Barlow to a standard NBA contract.
Gordon, 37, is on an expiring one-year, $3.6 million deal and appeared in six games this season for the 76ers, averaging 5.5 points, 0.5 rebounds, and 0.5 assists in 12.3 minutes per contest. His 57.1% three-point shooting over limited action highlights his efficiency in a bench scoring role.
Philadelphia currently sits 6th in the Eastern Conference with a 29-21 record, trailing Detroit and New York. Tyrese Maxey leads the team with 28.9 points per game, while Joel Embiid contributes 26.1 points and 7.4 rebounds.
The addition of Barlow to a full roster spot provides the team with a young forward capable of energy plays and versatility on both ends.
Barlow, 22, has averaged 8.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.3 assists across 40 games this season, showing efficiency with a .550 field goal percentage and a strong 63.7% on two-point attempts.
Memphis, 11th in the Western Conference at 19-29, receives Gordon as an experienced shooter to support their rotation.
