Does load management save Al Horford’s tenure with the Philadelphia 76ers?
There where a lot of interesting things that Doc Rivers said in his introductory press conference as the Philadelphia 76ers new head coach. One of the things that stuck out that Rivers spoke on was the idea of load management, especially in regards to Joel Embiid.
Considering the All-Star center’s injury history, it’s not surprising that his new head coach was open to the idea. Former head coach Brett Brown tried to manage Embiid’s load last season with moderate success.
