Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard and restricted free agent Quentin Grimes has opted to accept and sign his one-year, $8.7 million qualifying offer for the 2025-26 NBA season, league sources told ClutchPoints on Wednesday. By accepting his qualifying offer and not agreeing to a new contract with the 76ers as a restricted free agent, Grimes will enter unrestricted free agency in 2026. However, Morey and the team weren't prepared to commit long-term money to the 25-year-old, which resulted in his decision to bet on himself with the qualifying offer. Before Media Day and training camp, the 76ers proposed a four-year, $39 million contract structure that was essentially a four-year qualifying offer. Grimes and Philadelphia's front office could not come to terms on a larger one-year contract before his qualifying offer deadline.
