Lester Quinones has agreed to a two-way contract with the 76ers, a source confirmed to The Inquirer Wednesday afternoon.

The 23-year-old shooting guard played in 41 games over the past two seasons with the Golden State Warriors, averaging 4.2 points in 10 minutes on 39.7% shooting (37% on 2.2 three-point attempts per game). He was named the G League’s Most Improved Player for the 2022-23 season, and played in college at Memphis from 2019 to 2022.

The Sixers’ other players on two-way contracts, which allow players to split time between the NBA team and the G League’s Delaware Blue Coats, are guard Jeff Dowtin Jr. and former Imhotep star Justin Edwards.

The Sixers waived David Jones to open up a roster spot for Quinones. Jones was signed to a two-way deal in July after playing seven games for the Sixers’ Summer League team. He averaged 9.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.7 steals in Salt Lake City and Las Vegas.
