When the Philadelphia 76ers traded for Wilson Chandler, little was said about the move. It was essentially cap relief for the Denver Nuggets, something the Sixers could partake in after striking out on big-name free agents.
At the time, Chandler was expected to come off the bench behind Dario Saric and Robert Covington. Now, the circumstances have changed. Jimmy Butler is a Sixer and Chandler is back in the starting lineup, where he spent several seasons with the Nuggets.
Due to a hamstring injury he sustained in preseason action, Chandler has only played in five games for the Sixers.
