On April 14, the 76ers’ co-managing partner, Josh Harris, said the team was “invested in keeping Brett [Brown] here for a long time.” Then on May 11, team president Bryan Colangelo said he would sit down and discuss a contract extension with the fifth-year head coach. At the time, the final year of Brown’s two-year extension was set to be the 2018-19 campaign.
“I don’t think it’s the healthiest of situations with coaches going into a season with one year remaining on their contracts,” Colangelo said at the time.
Well, Brown won’t have to worry about that.
