After sitting the first nine games with a strained hamstring, Wilson Chandler will make his Philadelphia 76ers debut in Saturday afternoon’s bout with the Detroit Pistons. He will be restricted to just 10 minutes, however, which will be served in two five-minute increments in the first half.
Despite J.J. Redick‘s sorta-transition to the second unit this season, the Sixers’ bench has been lackluster at times. Mike Muscala and Landry Shamet are solid producers, but Chandler is still an upgrade over both in certain situations.
Standing 6-foot-8, Chandler is another versatile wing defender, something the Sixers lacked in the 2018 playoffs.
