The Philadelphia 76ers have made a move this offseason by declining the $2.9 million team option on guard Lonnie Walker IV.
This decision officially makes Walker a free agent, opening the door for him to explore opportunities with other teams, sources told ESPN, according to Shams Charania.
Walker played in 20 games for the Sixers last season, where he averaged 12.3 points while logging almost 24 minutes per game. His shooting from beyond the arc was solid, connecting on 35.4% of his three-point attempts.
Before returning to the NBA, Walker spent part of the season overseas, playing for Zalgiris Kaunas in the EuroLeague.
During his time with Zalgiris, Walker averaged 13.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game. He also posted a performance index rating (PIR) of 11.3.
