The 76ers were in the midst of a somewhat disappointing campaign when the season was suspended. Philly wasn’t an outright disaster, but the Ben Simmons-Joel Embiid fit continued to raise eyebrows, there were some questions within the team about “heart,” and Brett Brown’s job always seems to be hanging by a thread. By the time play was stopped, the Sixers were in sixth place in the East, one spot behind (by virtue of a tiebreaker) the Pacers, who were missing Victor Oladipo for much of the season.
The question for Philly is whether the front office will look at this season as too complicated to judge and let everyone run it back next year(?
