Brett Brown is heading back to California.
The 76ers coach and interim general manager will fly to Los Angeles on Saturday to check in on Markelle Fultz and Joel Embiid and accompany Ben Simmons at Monday’s NBA Awards Show. Brown was in L.A. last Monday to watch Fultz workout with shooting coach Drew Hanlen.
There’s no doubt that taking another look at Fultz is a priority on the second trip. It appears that he won’t play in the NBA Summer League while trying to regain the shooting form that made him the No. 1 overall draft pick in 2017.
