2015 Sixers Season Thread

[ice grillin you]

One of the allegations made in the article was that Sixers majority owner Joshua Harris did not want Joel Embiid to travel to the Las Vegas Summer League.

"There are several portions of it that are wildly inaccurate, that being one of them" Brown said, referring specifically to Embiid traveling to summer league. "I have no idea what that means or why it was said.

The part that seemed to upset Brown the most was the timing of the article. Joel Embiid's brother, Arthur, passed away after being involved in a motor vehicle accident last fall. The event was not mentioned in the Sports Illustrated article that detailed his alleged insubordination.

Today was the one year anniversary of his brother's passing.

"The thing that upsets me probably more than anything is you look at Joel Embiid and he lost his brother on this day last year, and the article comes out today," Brown said. "It's just wildly unfair with some of the accusations as it relates to now."

"This story is old. It's been documented," Brown said. "So to all of a sudden wake up and have these things be revisited, I think in some ways is unfortunate and sad, particularly because of the timing."

Sixers head coach Brett Brown, who noted that Embiid is in good physical shape at this stage of his recovery process, is proud of the progress Embiid is making.

"I'm proud of where Joel Embiid is at. He's had a rough few years," Brown said. "He will get there. We're moving him forward, and more importantly he's moving himself forward."

Republican presidential candidate John Kasich threw some shade at the Philadelphia 76ers this morning, and the team didn't skip a beat firing back on Twitter minutes later.

Speaking today a small town hall in Manchester, New Hampshire, Kasich said he ran into the basketball team at his hotel this morning.

"How did I know who they were?" he said. "They were really tall, okay."


He told the business-focused crowd about the importance of job skills, then jokingly added that the 76ers haven't had too many skills of their own lately.

"The reason why some of them make a lot of money is because they have skills," he said. "Not too many Sixers have had that many skills lately, but they do."

After ABC News tweeted about it, the 76ers shot back on Twitter: "At least we win more than 2% of the time."
