SEPTEMBER 11: Duke’s Exhibit 10 contract is now official, the 76ers announced.
SEPTEMBER 5: Free agent guard David Duke is signing an Exhibit 10 contract with the Sixers, Gina Mizell of the Philadelphia Inquirer tweets.
Duke became an unrestricted free agent this summer when the Nets declined to give him a qualifying offer.
The Sixers had 18 players on their roster, so even with Duke joining them in camp they can still add two more players. They have just 13 players on fully guaranteed salaries, so it’s conceivable Duke could earn a spot on the 15-man roster.
Duke first joined Brooklyn on a two-way deal after going undrafted out of Providence in 2021. He returned to the Nets on another two-way contract for the 2022/23 season, then received a standard deal in April.
Duke averaged 3.7 PPG, 1.3 RPG and 0.9 APG in 23 games with the Nets last season. In 22 games for Brooklyn’s G League affiliate, the Long Island Nets, Duke averaged 22.9 PPG, 6.0 RPG, 3.8 APG, and 1.9 SPG and was named to the All-NBA G League First Team.
Under the terms of an Exhibit 10 contract, if Duke is waived and then spends at least 60 days with Philadelphia’s G League affiliate, the Delaware Blue Coats, he’d be in line for a bonus worth up to $75K.
The NBA and pro basketball probably isn’t the best place for somebody with the name: DAVID DUKE !!
Dude I came here expecting somewhere in the top 5 comments. #1!!! You nailed it!!!
Hell of a name for an nba player jeez.
Also never trust a man with two first names
arian foster says what’s up.
What an unfortunate name. I’d rather be named Mike Hunt.
How about ball player Rusty Kuntz?

The G League affiliate for the Sixers is the Delaware Blue Coats (not the LI Nets)
I’m surprised the Wizards didn’t attempt to sign him. His addition would have been GRAND
Good One – Wish I’d thought of it !!
You’re slipping bro lol
Philly can use help at PG. Duke can play. I still see 2way potential. He’s more a combo guard. But he’d be smart to play more point. Hope he makes it.
