Johni Broome’s 76ers Stint
After the Sixers selected VJ Edgecombe with the third-overall pick in 2025, the team had a second-round pick left.
On night two, former 76ers President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey shocked the basketball world when he selected Broome.
In the weeks leading up to the draft, Broome wasn’t linked to the 76ers at all. He joined the team with a decorated college resume, but struggled to transition to the NBA level.
The 76ers rolled out Broome for just 11 games as a rookie. He shot 16.7% from the field, and averaged just 1.5 rebounds per game, with roughly five minutes of playing time.
Broome appeared in 18 games with the Sixers’ G League affiliate, the Delaware Blue Coats. He shot 46.4% from the field, averaging 22.9 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks. Before reaching his sophomore effort, the 76ers traded Broome to the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Clippers cut Broome a few months later, which led him to join the Milwaukee Bucks‘ G League squad, before the Wolves came calling.
