Sixers wing Wilson Chandler, acquired from the Denver Nuggets in a trade in July, will be making his regular season Sixers debut this afternoon against the Detroit Pistons.
In the Sixers’ September 28th preseason opener against Melbourne United, Chandler suffered a hamstring injury that forced him to miss over a month.
Sixers Head Coach Brett Brown told reporters that Chandler will start out with a 10-minute restriction, and that he plans to use Chandler for two five-minute stints in the first half. Brown indicated that Chandler’s workload will gradually increase as time goes on, until he has been completely reintegrated into the rotation.
