76ers' Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: Limited to seven points Sunday
Rotowire
Caldwell-Pope contributed seven points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-0 FT), three rebounds, three assists and a steal across 31 minutes in Sunday's 106-93 loss to the Pistons.
Caldwell-Pope entered the starting lineup with VJ Edgecombe (abdomen) sidelined but didn't make a big impact in scoring, so he didn't make the most of the opportunity to see an expanded workload, as his 31 minutes were a season-high mark. Caldwell-Pope is likely to return to his bench role Wednesday at Indiana if Edgecombe is cleared to return, but even if he stays in the first unit, he didn't produce enough to be an attractive waiver-wire option outside deeper fantasy formats.

76ers' Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: Quiet offensively in win
Rotowire
Caldwell-Pope provided three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Thursday's 114-106 win over Cleveland.
Caldwell-Pope played a meaningful role off Philadelphia's bench but attempted just one shot, leaving him with minimal offensive production. While the veteran wing should continue contributing perimeter defense and occasional three-pointers, his limited offensive involvement makes him a low-upside fantasy option.

Rotowire
Caldwell-Pope notched 10 points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 106-100 victory over the Knicks.
The veteran sharpshooter played a fairly significant role in his 76ers debut, contributing 10 points off the bench. Dean Wade (ankle) was sidelined Tuesday, so it remains to be seen if Caldwell-Pope will continue to see minutes in the mid 20s consistently once Wade is healthy.

Rotowire
Caldwell-Pope is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Nets.

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: Plans to sign with Philadelphia
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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.
