The Sixers are bringing back Jeff Dowtin on a two-way contract, The Athletic’s Shams Charania tweets.
Dowtin finished last season with Philadelphia but the Sixers declined their 2024/25 option on the reserve point guard in order to open up as much cap space as possible.
Dowtin started off the 2023/24 season with Philadelphia’s NBAGL team, the Delaware Blue Coats, before inking a two-way deal with the Sixers. In April, that contract was converted to a standard agreement for the rest of the season, with a second-year team option.
He appeared in 12 regular season games for the Sixers, averaging 4.3 points and 2.3 assists in 11.8 minutes. In 20 G League games, he averaged 19 points and 5.3 assists in 32.4 minutes.
Overall, Dowtin has played in 46 NBA games during his career.
After going undrafted out of Rhode Island in 2020, Dowtin spent the 2020/21 season with the Lakeland Magic, Orlando’s G League affiliate. The 6’3″ point guard has since logged time with the Warriors, Bucks, and Raptors, often on either 10-day contracts or two-way deals that have seen him split his time with each team’s G League affiliate club.
Philadelphia already has wing Justin Edwards on a two-way deal and reportedly will also add forward David Jones on a similar contract. Dowtin would fill the third two-way slot.
