THE FACT that it was Shirley Temple night at the Wells Fargo Center on Wednesday let's you know just how young this 76ers team still is.
The promotion was tied into center Joel Embiid, who admittedly has an addiction to the sugary concoction. He talked at length on Friday morning about his introduction to the drink, how his fondness grew while at the University of Kansas and his desire to cut back on his intake.
Funny stuff. Kid stuff. That's where the Sixers are right now as far as age and maturity when it comes to the real world.
