76ers' Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: Not starting vs. Nets
Caldwell-Pope is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Nets.
Caldwell-Pope started Monday against the Knicks, but the veteran will head back to the bench Thursday. That's because the 76ers will open the game with their regular starting lineup featuring Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Jaylen Brown, LeBron James and Joel Embiid. Caldwell-Pope is expected to operate as a three-point shooting threat off the bench for the 76ers in the regular season.

76ers' Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: Starting Monday
Caldwell-Pope will start in Monday's preseason opener against the Knicks.
Joining Caldwell-Pope in the first unit for Monday's exhibition will be VJ Edgecombe, Jaylen Brown, Dean Wade and Ariel Hukporti. Caldwell-Pope will likely receive some spot starts throughout the year when some of the other vets need a night off, but when the team is at full strength, he'll be operating in a reserve role.

76ers' Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: Impressing at camp
Caldwell-Pope has made a strong impression during the early stages of his first training camp with Philadelphia, according to teammate Tyrese Maxey, Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Maxey described Caldwell-Pope as "fantastic" Tuesday and highlighted the veteran wing's potential value as an example for younger players such as Justin Edwards. Caldwell-Pope's championship experience and defensive ability should give him an opportunity to carve out a regular role in Philadelphia's rotation while also providing a veteran presence for the team's younger wings.

76ers' Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: Plans to sign with Philadelphia
Caldwell-Pope (finger) agreed to a buyout with the Grizzlies on Saturday and plans to sign a one-year, $3.9 million contract with the 76ers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
After exercising his $21.6 million player option in June, Caldwell-Pope is set to join LeBron James and the 76ers for the 2026-27 campaign. Caldwell-Pope was traded from Orlando to Memphis in June 2025 and appeared in 51 regular-season games (14 starts) with the club before undergoing surgery on his right pinky finger in February. He averaged 8.4 points, 2.7 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 0.8 steals across 21.3 minutes per contest with the Grizzlies. The 33-year-old is now expected to compete with Anfernee Simons, Labaron Philon and Justin Edwards for playing time off the bench.

Grizzlies' Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: Intends to join Philadelphia
Caldwell-Pope (finger) is negotiating a buyout with the Grizzlies and intends to sign with the 76ers, Chris Haynes of NBA TV reports.
Caldwell-Pope exercised his $21.6 million player option earlier this offseason to return to the Grizzlies for the 2026-27 campaign, though the two sides will seemingly part ways via a buyout. Before missing the final 29 regular-season games due to surgery on his right pinky finger, the 33-year-old averaged 8.4 points, 2.7 assists and 2.5 rebounds in 21.3 minutes per contest across 51 appearances (14 starts). For the new-look 76ers with LeBron James in the fold, Caldwell-Pope figures to slide into an experienced veteran role off the bench. While he's known for his defense and shooting ability, Caldwell-Pope's conversion rate from beyond the arc dropped to just 31.6 percent during the 2025-26 season.

Caldwell-Pope (finger) exercised his $21.6 million player option for the 2026-27 campaign Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
The veteran guard is set to return to Memphis after being acquired from Orlando in the Desmond Bane deal last June, though Caldwell-Pope could still be bought out. The 33-year-old missed the Grizzlies' final 29 regular-season games after undergoing surgery on his right pinky finger, finishing the season with averages of 8.4 points, 2.7 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 21.3 minutes per tilt across 51 regular-season appearances (14 starts).

Grizzlies' Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: Won't return in 2025-26
The Grizzlies announced Thursday that Caldwell-Pope underwent surgery to address the misalignment of his right pinky finger and will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 campaign.
Caldwell-Pope is expected to make a full recovery ahead of next season and holds a $21.6 million player option for 2026-27. He'll finish this season with averages of 8.4 points, 2.7 assists and 2.5 rebounds in 21.3 minutes per contest across 51 regular-season games (14 starts). Cam Spencer, Walter Clayton (calf) and Jahmai Mashack are candidates to see an uptick in minutes due to Caldwell-Pope being sidelined for the rest of the campaign.

Grizzlies' Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: Undergoing surgery on pinky
Caldwell-Pope is scheduled to undergo surgery on his right pinky finger Wednesday.
Caldwell-Pope is expected to make a full recovery from his surgery, but the Grizzlies will wait until after the surgery to provide a timeline for the veteran's return. He has averaged 21.3 minutes per game this season while serving in a bench role, and those minutes will likely be absorbed by Taylor Hendricks, Ty Jerome and Jahmai Mashack for as long as Caldwell-Pope is sidelined.

Grizzlies' Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: Late scratch Friday
Caldwell-Pope (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Portland.
Caldwell-Pope was an extremely late addition to the injury report and won't suit up in the front end of this back-to-back set. However, it appears likely the veteran guard will return for Saturday's rematch against the Trail Blazers. With Caldwell-Pope unavailable, Walter Clayton, Jahmai Mashack and Cam Spencer are candidates for increased minutes.
