Dario Saric welcomes pressure to produce as a Sixers starter

Like most players, 76ers power forward Dario Saric prefers to be in the starting lineup. But Saric knows that with that comes more pressure to produce.

“Some players fail in the situation,” he said after Friday morning’s shoot-around. “I just think about how to help the team, how to do my part of the job and try to get the team a win.”

Saric is scheduled to make his fourth consecutive start Friday night against the Indiana Pacers at Wells Fargo Center. He came off the bench in the first five games of the season.

The second-year player has had missed results as a starter.
