Sixers Add MarJon Beauchamp on Two-Way, Waive Hunter Sallis

Philadelphia’s roster churn continued after a 114–106 loss to the Brooklyn Nets, with the 76ers agreeing to a two-way deal with Beauchamp, a 25-year-old wing who has already spent time in the organization this season. The move was first reported by Tony Jones of The Athletic and reflects the team’s ongoing search for athletic depth on the perimeter.

The decision came at the expense of Sallis, who had appeared in seven NBA games since joining the Sixers as an undrafted free agent last summer. While Sallis showed flashes with the Delaware Blue Coats, Philadelphia opted to pivot toward a player with more professional mileage.

Beauchamp arrives with the pedigree of a former first-round selection and a winding early career that has taken him through three NBA franchises in as many seasons. His role has fluctuated, but recent performances at the G League and international levels have helped reframe his value.

For the Sixers, the signing is less about a single roster move and more about maintaining flexibility as the team navigates injuries, workload management, and the constraints of two-way eligibility in the second half of the season.

1. A First-Rounder Searching for Stability

Beauchamp was drafted 24th overall by the Milwaukee Bucks in 2022, a pick that reflected optimism about his length, athleticism, and defensive upside. Over parts of three NBA seasons, he has logged 135 regular-season games with Milwaukee, the Los Angeles Clippers, and the New York Knicks. His career averages — 4.1 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 0.6 assists in about 11 minutes per game — underline a player who has often hovered on the edge of rotation status. Opportunities came in short bursts rather than extended runs. After seeing his role shrink in Milwaukee, Beauchamp was dealt to the Clippers in February 2025 as part of the Kevin Porter Jr. trade. He appeared in just three games before Los Angeles waived him a month later. New York picked him up on a two-way deal, but that stop also proved brief. By the time training camp arrived in Philadelphia, Beauchamp was again searching for a foothold in a league that can be unforgiving to young wings without a clear niche.

2. Dominating in Delaware

Philadelphia initially signed Beauchamp to an Exhibit 10 contract in the preseason, waiving him but retaining his G League rights. That decision paid dividends once he joined the Delaware Blue Coats. In seven games during the G League Tip-Off Tournament and Winter Showcase, Beauchamp averaged 20.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 3.0 assists while shooting an efficient 50 percent from the field, 45.2 percent from three, and 93.3 percent at the line. Those numbers far outpaced anything he had posted at the NBA level. Other stretches with Delaware were even louder. In one scoring surge, he put up 26.5 points and 7.0 rebounds per game while connecting on half of his three-point attempts, showing a blend of confidence and efficiency that caught the parent club’s attention. For a Sixers team that has leaned heavily on the Blue Coats pipeline in recent seasons, Beauchamp’s production fit the template: use the G League not only as a development platform, but as a proving ground for players ready to contribute in spot NBA minutes.

3. Making Noise on the International Stage

Beauchamp’s stock was also boosted overseas, where he represented Team USA in qualifying games for the 2027 FIBA World Cup. In two contests against Nicaragua, he totaled 50 points in just 50 minutes of action. He shot 18-of-26 from the floor and 9-of-14 from beyond the arc, supplementing his scoring with six assists, five rebounds, two blocks, and a steal. The output set a Team USA record for points in a two-game World Cup qualifying window. Those performances didn’t come against elite competition, but they reinforced the notion that Beauchamp can carry offensive responsibility when asked — a trait that has rarely been showcased in his NBA stints. For Philadelphia’s front office, that combination of recent G League dominance and international efficiency helped justify another look at a player they had already tracked closely for months.
