This NBA season has had its fair share of surprises and the Philadelphia 76ers aren’t an exception to that. One sad development is the decline of fan-favorite Mike Scott. At this point, it’s hard to justify having Scott staying in the rotation moving forward.
I’ve said multiple times on The Sixer Sense Podcast that Scott has one foot in retirement and that he probably won’t get another NBA contract this upcoming season. Yet for some reason, Sixers’ head coach Doc Rivers is still using the veteran power forward as a replacement starter for All-Star center Joel Embiid misses time and he shouldn’t be.
