TJ McConnell's role on the team fluctuated, impacting his contributions throughout the games. The Pacers' speed and execution played a pivotal role in their victories over the Sixers.
Kelly Oubre allegedly gets hit by car
Kelly Oubre Jr. reportedly gets hit by a car in Philadelphia, sustaining a broken rib. However, there are conflicting reports and skepticism about the incident, as police claim to have found no video footage of the incident. Despite the strange circumstances, Oubre is said to be recovering well and may return to the court in a relatively short time. The incident adds to the long list of peculiar events that have occurred surrounding the Philadelphia 76ers.
Possible Zach LaVine trade
Zach LaVine of the Chicago Bulls is rumored to be available for a trade. The Bulls, struggling as a team, seem ready to move on from their current core players. While LaVine is a highly skilled offensive player, concerns arise about his defensive ability. The Sixers, in need of another star player, could potentially pursue LaVine. However, the team will need to carefully consider the impact on their current style of play and defensive needs before making any decisions.
