Cris Carroll is off the Philadelphia 76ers roster as of Sunday, Oct. 18, per the official roster. The move follows a Saturday report from hoopsrumors on roster cuts in Philadelphia.
The move
Cris Carroll leaves the 76ers roster, confirmed by the official roster on Sunday, Oct. 18. The move was preceded by a Saturday, Oct. 17 report from hoopsrumors, "Sixers Cut Dillon Jones, Three Others," though no confidence level was attached to that report. Carroll entered the league as a rookie, and no destination roster is announced for him at this time.
The money
Carroll's contract is not on file yet, since public salary data can lag a signing or departure by a day. Philadelphia's own payroll sits at $213.2 million across 18 contracts for 2026-27, over the first apron. The cap is set at $165.0 million, the tax line at $200.4 million, the first apron at $209.0 million and the second apron at $221.7 million.
The fit
Carroll has no NBA line from last season. Philadelphia's rotation at the top is led by Tyrese Maxey at 38.0 minutes and 28.3 points, VJ Edgecombe at 35.0 minutes and 16.0 points, and Joel Embiid at 31.6 minutes and 26.9 points, with Kelly Oubre Jr., Paul George, Quentin Grimes, Dominick Barlow and Andre Drummond rounding out the minutes. The 76ers now carry 17 players on the roster, against a standard limit of 15 plus three two-way spots.
