- Sixers held team meeting on Monday per ESPN report
- Philadelphia off to 2-11 start despite $400m offseason
With frustration growing after a 2-11 start to the season, the Philadelphia 76ers held a team meeting Monday night, pointing some of the blame at former league Most Valuable Player Joel Embiid, ESPN reported Tuesday.
With NBA championship aspirations after spending more than $400m to put together a “big three” of Embiid, Paul George and Tyrese Maxey, the 76ers have started with a thud in last place in the Eastern Conference. And Maxey, in the team meeting, called on Embiid to stop being tardy “for everything” because of the impact his lateness has on the rest of the team, per ESPN.
