Walker became a free agent after the Sixers declined to pick up his $2.9 million team option before the June 29 deadline to do so.

Walker averaged 12.4 points in 20 games after signing a two-year, $3.7 million deal with the Sixers on Feb. 21.

The Sixers were his fourth NBA team.

Walker was selected 18th by the San Antonio Spurs in the 2018 NBA draft. He has played for the Spurs, Los Angeles Lakers, Brooklyn Nets, and Sixers over seven NBA seasons.
