This season didn’t finish as expected for the Philadelphia 76ers. After their second straight elimination in the Eastern Conference semifinals, it became clear that the Sixers still have work to do to be true contenders.
Now it’s time to turn the page and figure out how to help Joel Embiid challenge for the ring next year. Despite the critics,James Harden is expected to stay. But other players on the roster could take a different route.
The 2022-23 campaign will probably be crucial for Doc Rivers, who will be walking on thin ice if his team doesn’t show signs of progress. In order to do that, the 76ers are expected to move on from multiple players, including Matisse Thybulle. However, they reportedly have a highasking price for him.
