The 76ers signed Grimes (personal) to a one-year, $8.7 million qualifying offer Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grimes and the 76ers brass have been going back and forth during contract negotiations, which didn't appear to be heading in the right direction. However, now he's back in the fold and has a no-trade clause. He'll become an unrestricted free agent next summer. His participation in the preseason remains uncertain, as it was reported that he wouldn't travel with the team overseas to Dubai before this deal was finalized. After being traded to Philadelphia by the Mavericks, Grimes played in 28 regular-season games, averaging 21.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game, shooting 46.9 percent from the field and 37.3 percent from beyond the arc.

The 76ers and Grimes remain "very far apart' on a new deal, ESPN's Shams Charania reported Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

For the first time this offseason, Grimes received a formal offer from the 76ers on Wednesday, but it sounds like he wasn't impressed. In fact, Grimes will not be attending Media Day on Friday and will not travel with the team for their overseas preseason trip this weekend. Charania added that this situation may ultimately come down to Grimes taking the qualifying offer and betting on himself next offseason.

The 76ers extended an $8.74 million qualifying offer to Grimes on Saturday, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Philadelphia has extended a qualifying offer to Grimes, who is now set to become a restricted free agent. The 25-year-old is likely to draw interest from multiple teams after a career-best 2024-25 campaign, during which he averaged 14.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.0 steals across 26.8 minutes per game in 75 regular-season appearances (37 starts) between Dallas and Philadelphia. He also recorded shooting splits of 46.7/38.5/75.7.

Grimes recorded eight points (3-14 FG, 0-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and four assists across 35 minutes during Sunday's 122-102 loss to the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

With the injury-plagued 76ers missing their top three scoring options in the final weeks of the regular season, Grimes stepped up in a big way to wrap up the year. Over his closing 12 contests, Grimes averaged 24.5 points, 5.5 assists, 5.4 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 3.5 three-pointers in 35.1 minutes. The 24-year-old swingman should garner plenty of interest from other teams this offseason, but Grimes is a restricted free agent, so the 76ers have the ability to match any offer he receives.

EDGE Analysis

Grimes will return to action for the regular-season finale after sitting out Friday's loss to Atlanta. Since the beginning of March, Grimes has averaged 26.2 points, 5.2 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 34.8 minutes per game.

Grimes (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

Grimes missed Friday's game against the Hawks due to a right shoulder sprain, and that same injury has him as a potential game-time call for the regular-season finale. The 76ers don't have anything to play for Sunday, but Grimes will aim to end the season on a high note, as he's been Philadelphia's best player since the All-Star break. He enters the final day of the regular season with averages of 23.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game across 23 appearances since the break.

Grimes (shoulder) won't play in Friday's game versus the Hawks, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grimes has been downgraded from questionable to out Friday due to a right shoulder sprain. Lonnie Walker, Jared Butler and Jeff Dowtin should all receive increased playing time in his absence. Grimes' next chance to suit up is Philadelphia's regular-season finale against Chicago on Sunday.

Grimes is questionable for Friday's game against the Hawks with a right shoulder sprain.

EDGE Analysis

This appears to be a new issue for Grimes, but the questionable tag suggests that he's day-to-day. However, the 76ers have been super cautious with their key players. If Grimes is unable to play, Lonnie Walker and Jared Butler could soak up a lot of usage for the 76ers.

Grimes recorded 17 points (4-17 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 122-103 victory over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Grimes posted a double-double Wednesday, leading the 76ers in both dimes and boards to help offset a poor shooting night. The 2021 first-rounder has blossomed into a high-end fantasy asset across all formats while dominating usage for the injury-plagued 76ers, averaging 26.9 points, 5.4 assists, 4.8 rebounds, 1.9 steals and 3.7 three-pointers 34.4 minutes over his last 15 games.

Grimes (back) is available for Wednesday's game against Washington, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Grimes was originally listed as questionable due to back soreness, but the 2021 first-round pick has been cleared to play in Wednesday's Atlantic Division bout. He has averaged 26.8 points, 5.8 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals over 37.0 minutes per game since the beginning of April.
