Shorthanded Sixers pounded by Pistons
Maybe all of the 76ers' players should spend an hour talking to Billy Cunningham.
The 73-year-old could teach them a lot about winning games and becoming a legend for the franchise. That's why they'll see a sculpture of the Hall of Famer whenever they walk into the team's practice facility at the Camden waterfront for now on.
The team unveiled the sculpture seven hours before the Detroit Pistons pounded the shorthanded Sixers, 136-106, Saturday night at the Wells Fargo Center. The Sixers (23-39) had only nine available players as Jahlil Okafor, Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons, Gerald Henderson, Jerryd Bayless, and Tiago Splitter were sidelined.
