Before the NBA had been to suspend play due to coronavirus outbreak, the Philadelphia 76ers were performing below expectation and things weren’t looking good for head coach Brett Brown. While this hiatus might be good for players like Ben Simmons, it’s not good for Brown’s job security.
As things stand, the Sixers are in sixth place in the Eastern Conference with a 39-26 record. There are several reasons why the 76ers aren’t performing well. Health is a major factor, the fit of Al Horford next to Joel Embiid and Simmons has also been a big issue for the club.
