As you know, there will always be three constants with the Philadelphia 76ers each year. For Condition One – a major star will be injured early in the season. With Condition Two – the injury will have some level of mystery associated with it. Finally, Condition Three – the Philadelphia 76ers will share minimal information initially, then create confusion with official statements. Finally the team will try to clear the air, only causing more confusion.
So far, all conditions have been met this year. But unlike other years with a player hitting the bench, this year the controversy erupted over an injured player playing each of the first four games.
