The Philadelphia 76ers are amid a four-day rest that offers them a moment to reflect upon the positives and negatives that composed their 13-10 record. Quentin Grimes’ performance has gradually shed light on a question that goes beyond Philadelphia’s record, however.
Injuries to Joel Embiid, Paul George and Jared McCain thrusted Grimes into a heightened offensive role that he received a sample of last season. Now, the 25-year-old is experiencing career-highs in points and assists per game coming off the bench. If Grimes sustains this production level, he could become one of the more coveted free agents after this season, forcing the 76ers to pay up.
