Something that quickly became a theme during the Sixers’ 2024 media day, both between reporters and players, was that this team is kind of old.
When a question to Paul George ran down the ages of himself, Kyle Lowry, Reggie Jackson, and several other additions to the roster, George jokingly cut it off, saying, “We’re old, I get it.”
Strictly speaking, he’s not wrong either. The average age of the Sixers’ roster is 28.2 years old, according to RealGm.com. Only the Phoenix Suns and LA Clippers are older.
From how head coach Nick Nurse talked about this experience, it sounds like it was built by design.
