The message coming out of the 76ers training camp was that T.J. McConnell and Sergio Rodriguez were in a battle for the backup point guard spot.
Then we learned that McConnell earned the starter’s role after projected starter Jerryd Bayless became sidelined with what the Sixers are calling a sore left wrist.
But on Friday, coach Brett Brown announced that Rodriguez would start against Detroit in an exhibition game at Wells Fargo Center.
“There’s no sort of madness from a discipline standpoint, from a performance standout,” Brown said following practice at the team’s practice facility in Camden.
