Emoni Bates has found a new NBA home.

After spending his first two seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers, the 21-year-old has signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Philadelphia 76ers, according to Philadelphia Inquirer reporter Keith Pompey .

Bates’ Exhibit 10 contract is a one-year deal worth the league minimun and allows players the opportunity to compete for a roster spot or a two-way contract during training camp.

The 6-foot-8 forward has spent most of his two professional seasons in the G League with the Cavs’ affiliate the Cleveland Charge.

He was a G League all-star in 2024 and averaged 3.1 points and 8.3 minutes per game in 25 NBA appearances.

Bates was drafted with the 49th pick in the 2023 NBA Draft after spending his sophomore season at Eastern Michigan.
