Dedmon played the final 4:48 of Sunday's 112-93 win over the Wizards and finished with four points (2-2 FG), one rebound and one assist.
Dedmon had been available to make his Philadelphia debut for just over a week, but it took until garbage time of a blowout before head coach Doc Rivers was ready to get a look at the veteran center. With third-year player Paul Reed having seemingly entrenched himself as Joel Embiid's top backup, opportunities for Dedmon and Montrezl Harrell are likely to be few and far between unless Embiid misses time.

76ers' Dewayne Dedmon: Catches on with Philly
Rotowire
Dedmon agreed to a one-year contract with the 76ers on Wednesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
In the aftermath of last Thursday's trade deadline, the 76ers had been scouring the buyout market for an additional veteran reserve option at center, and Philadelphia appears to have found its man in Dedmon, who has appeared in 507 career regular-season games. Before being traded to the Spurs earlier this month and then waived, Dedmon saw action in 30 games for the Heat, averaging 5.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 0.5 blocks in 11.7 minutes per contest. With Philadelphia, Dedmon will most likely be part of a three-man committee with Paul Reed and Montrezl Harrell for the backup center spot behind All-Star Joel Embiid. Head coach Doc Rivers could take a matchup-based approach to using his three reserve centers; the 6-foot-10, 245-pound Dedmon offers the most size, Harrell is the best scoring option and Reed profiles as the best option to guard undersized or perimeter-oriented big men. Dedmon won't be available for Monday's game against the Rockets, but if he finalizes his contract and practices Tuesday, he could be ready to make his Philadelphia debut Wednesday versus the Cavaliers.

Dewayne Dedmon: Cut by San Antonio
Rotowire
The Spurs waived Dedmon on Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
San Antonio acquired Dedmon from the Heat two days earlier, but the Spurs took on his contract in the deal for the purpose of getting back a 2028 second-round draft pick. Given that the Spurs are rebuilding, the organization will cut the 33-year-old loose and allow him to explore his options elsewhere. During his time with Miami this season, the veteran center appeared in 30 games and averaged 5.7 points and 3.6 rebounds in 11.7 minutes.

Spurs' Dewayne Dedmon: Headed back to San Antonio
Rotowire
The Spurs acquired Dedmon and a 2028 second-round draft pick from the Heat on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
San Antonio won't be sending any players back to Miami, as it already had a spot on the 15-man roster open for Dedmon after Gorgui Dieng's second 10-day contract recently expired. Dedmon will be in line for his second stint with San Antonio after previously spending the 2016-17 season with the club, but he may not stick around with the Spurs for long. The 33-year-old doesn't fit the Spurs' rebuilding timeline, and San Antonio already has four other centers on the roster (Jakob Poeltl, Zach Collins, Isaiah Roby and Charles Bassey), so Dedmon could be a candidate to get waived at some point before the season ends. Even if the Spurs elect to keep Dedmon, he likely won't be part of head coach Gregg Popovich's regular rotation, as San Antonio presumably made the deal to pick up the draft pick.

Heat's Dewayne Dedmon: Handed suspension
Rotowire
Dedmon will serve a one-game suspension Thursday against the Bucks after he received the ban for conduct detrimental to the team during Tuesday's 112-111 win over the Thunder, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
In Tuesday's game, Dedmon played five minutes and produced two points (2-2 FT) and three rebounds before getting ejected the contest for tossing a TheraGun massage device on the court. Prior to his ejection, Dedmon had been arguing with a Heat assistant coach, which may have more to do his suspension than the ejection. Dedmon's absence for Thursday's game should clear the way for Orlando Robinson to serve as the top backup to Bam Adebayo (wrist), who is expected to play against the Bucks after sitting out Tuesday.

Heat's Dewayne Dedmon: Cleared for action
Rotowire
Dedmon (foot) is available for Friday's game against the Suns.
As expected, Dedmon will be available Friday after initially being listed as probable with a foot injury. Last time out, Dedmon returned from a six-game absence due to a foot injury and posted two points, three rebounds and one block in seven minutes.
