Philadelphia 76ers trade Johni Broome and 2027 second‑round pick to Clippers

Johni Broome Los Angeles Clippers Philadelphia 76ers salary cap LeBron James

The Philadelphia 76ers sent forward Johni Broome and a 2027 second‑round draft pick to the Los Angeles Clippers in exchange for cash considerations. The move was made to keep the Sixers under both the first and second salary‑cap aprons after they signed LeBron James to a two‑year veteran‑minimum contract worth $8 million total and added free‑agent guard Kentavious Caldwell‑Pope. Caldwell‑Pope is expected to clear waivers and then sign a one‑year $3.9 million deal, with $2.4 million counting against the cap.

Broome, the 35th overall pick in the 2025 NBA draft, missed much of his rookie season after tearing the meniscus in his right knee on Feb. 21 while playing for the G League’s Delaware Blue Coats. He appeared in 11 regular‑season games, logging 10 points, 16 rebounds, four assists, three steals and two blocks in 55 minutes, and played eight minutes in two playoff games. By moving his $2.15 million salary, the Sixers created additional flexibility, keeping total salaries at about $207.3 million—below the $209 million first‑apron threshold and just above the luxury‑tax line. The trade gives the Clippers an extra frontline prospect and the second‑most favorable of Philadelphia’s three 2027 second‑round picks.
