Nick Nurse realizes that the 76ers' key players, like Kelly Oubre Jr and Guerschon Yabusele, are being over-extended.
Sixers guard Tyrese Maxey, who was already dealing with a finger injury, left the game against Portland midway through the third quarter after appearing to hurt his back during a fall. Maxey got up and went to the locker room after falling and didn't return. He finished with five points and six assists in 23 minutes in the loss.
“Malik Beasley is a shooter, plain and simple. Averaging 16.6 points per game, his value skyrockets for teams in desperate need of spacing. With his free-agent status looming, hopeful contenders like the 76ers could come calling with offers in the $15-18 million range,” Bitar wrote.
