PHILADELPHIA–The Philadelphia 76ers have been looking to figure out the backup center spot all season long as they have been flip-flopping between Montrezl Harrell and Paul Reed behind Joel Embiid.
In Sunday’s win over the Charlotte Hornets, the Sixers turned to Harrell and he rewarded their faith. The veteran out of Louisville had nine points on 4-for-5 shooting and he also had four assists. He was a plus-6 in 12:57 of playing time.
That type of production from Harrell off the bench is something that the Sixers will continue to take and it’s crucial in order to allow Embiid to get the rest he needs.
