Markelle Fultz‘s shoulder has managed to stay in the news even on a Philadelphia 76ers team full of storylines. His busted jump shot and the eventual revelation that he was playing through a nagging shoulder injury intrigued NBA fans. While reports have indicated that Philly is ready to move on from Fultz, the young player has […]
Derrick Rose helped Karl-Anthony Towns get through his spats with Jimmy Butler earlier this season, according to University of Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari. Rose walked Towns through his rough patch with Butler before he was traded to the Sixers. Of course, Towns and Rose (over at Memphis) both played under Calipari in their college days. “I bet […]
What happened to the brotherhood? Ben Simmons and Jimmy Butler had opposing reactions to the Philadelphia 76ers‘ 123-121 loss to the lowly Atlanta Hawks on Friday. “I think we were just too soft. I just don’t think we’re physical enough. I think defensively, we’re not taking it personal enough when guys score on us,” Simmons […]
All is not right in Philadelphia. New addition Jimmy Butler has clashed with coach Brett Brown over his role in the 76ers‘ offense, league sources tell ESPN. The insiders say Butler “aggressively challenged” Brown about his role in the offense, where Butler would prefer to play in a more pick-and-roll and iso-heavy offense, rather than the free-flowing one Brown […]
It’s best to not take Joel Embiid entirely seriously. More than most MVP candidates, and he’s in that discussion this season, Embiid realizes the unimportance of most off-the-court matters. When most everything can be construed as a joke, the tension inherent to contests of athleticism lessens. That’s likely why he got in a dig at Jazz big man Rudy […]
Markelle Fultz‘s NBA career is equal parts frustrating and mysterious. The former No. 1 overall pick has been diagnosed with Neurogenic Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, a rare nerve disorder that has wreaked havoc on his once-impressive jump shot. Though the condition has obviously caused issues, some believe that the cause of Fultz’s declining performance isn’t all physical. There’s been […]
The Philadelphia 76ers have gone 8-3 since they pulled Jimmy Butler out of a tense situation in Minnesota. Things may look fine, but according to Sixers big man Joel Embiid, adding Butler to the offense has thrown a wrench in his game. After being benched on Friday so that he could rest, Embiid expressed concerns […]
The 76ers didn’t look like themselves on Friday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Fans were given flashbacks to “The Process” years when Philadelphia went down 22-8 in the first quarter, eventually falling to the nearly last place Cavs. But Ben Simmons knows the culprit for the disappointing showing: gravy. Simmons blamed “Thanksgiving food” for the team’s […]
The Sixers‘ troubled Markelle Fultz era might be coming to an end as the guard looks for a second opinion on his mysterious shoulder injury. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, sources close to the 76ers said that Fultz isn’t in their “long term plans” and they’re considering trading him. The new development comes days after David Aldridge […]
At least Markelle Fultz can take a joke. During his biggest game as a member of the Dallas Cowboys, Amari Cooper scored two touchdowns on eight catches for 180 yards. One of his trips to the end zone included Cooper rounding up his Cowboys teammates as he stepped in front of the uprights to mock […]
