After a dramatic home win against the Charlotte Hornets, the Philadelphia 76ers are making some minor roster moves with some of their younger prospects.

According to a team official, rookie center Adem Bona has been assigned to the Sixers’ NBA G League affiliate, the Delaware Blue Coats.

In addition to Bona, the Sixers will also allow the Blue Coats to use two of their two-way players. According to a team official, Lester Quiñones and Justin Edwards will be available for Monday’s game. The Blue Coats will host the Boston Celtics affiliate, the Maine Celtics, for their second game of the year.

On Saturday, the Blue Coats opened their 2024-2025 run with a matchup against the Toronto Raptors affiliate. Delaware only had one two-way player available: rookie Justin Edwards.

The undrafted forward spent 35 minutes. He made ten of his 23 shot attempts, scoring a team-high 28 points. In addition to his scoring, Edwards had six rebounds, four assists and two steals. The Blue Coats came up short, losing by one point.

Edwards will have a chance to play in his second G League start on Monday. Quiñones will make his debut with the Blue Coats, playing his 67th game in the G League.

As for rookie Bona, it will be his first set of G League action.

Coming out of UCLA, Bona was called up with the 41st overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. Instead of signing with the Sixers on a two-way deal, the rookie big man got a standard contract. Still, Bona hasn’t cracked the Sixers’ rotation outside of garbage time, even in the absence of Joel Embiid.

The rookie center appeared in six games for the Sixers during the first stretch of the season. He averaged less than three minutes of play. When the Sixers faced the Charlotte Hornets in overtime on Sunday, Bona was left on the bench.

The Blue Coats will offer Bona the opportunity to get more playing time while the Sixers have the night off. He could return to the team Tuesday night when they host the New York Knicks in the first of back-to-back matchups.
