Heading into the 2019-20 NBA playoffs, the Philadelphia 76ers made the move to add veteran guard/forward Ryan Broekhoff to the active roster. It made a ton of sense considering the team’s woeful floor spacing at the time, and there was some belief that Broekhoff could play an even bigger role moving forward with the team due to his above-average shooting ability. He’s a career 40.3% shooter from beyond the arc, and his cheap cost fit in nicely alongside some of the team’s more expensive contracts.
Unfortunately, Broekhoff’s wide tested positive for COVID-19 right before the Orlando bubble restart, and Broekhoff was forced to opt out of the season’s final few games.
