Six Reasons to be Excited about the 2015-16 Season

For about the past month, there has been a lot of sad and negative vibes surrounding the Philadelphia 76ers. Those negative vibes mainly stem from the team announcing in mid-July that Joel Embiid is going to miss all of the 2015-16 season as a result of a bone graft surgery that he underwent this past week.

The sadness that spread to fans as a result of the surgery may have been trumped by what followed in the aftermath. A couple weeks after the Sixers announced that JoJo would undergo a second surgery on his foot that they claimed was not healing, Bob Cooney of the Philadelphia Inquirer reported that Embiid actually re-broke his foot.
