The Sixers are arriving back in Philadelphia after facing the New York Knicks in a two-game preseason series in Abu Dhabi last week.

Quentin Grimes is in town ready to meet them.

Grimes, 25, is no longer a restricted free agent. He is under contract with the Sixers at the one-year qualifying offer worth $8.7 million. Grimes will be an unrestricted free agent next summer and he has the right to veto any trade for the entire 2025-26 season. For three months, the Sixers and Grimes' camp participated in more debates over theoretical negotiations than they did in actual negotiations.

Grimes' agent told PhillyVoice less than a week before the qualifying offer was signed that his client felt "a lot of disrespect" coming from the Sixers and President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey.
