The Philadelphia 76ers just finished being swept out of the playoffs, and their first move appears to be a coaching change.
According to ESPN reporter Adrian Wojnarowski, the Sixers have fired head coach Brett Brown. This after the team was eliminated by the Boston Celtics in a 4-0 sweep in the first round of the 2020 NBA playoffs.
The news does not come as a surprise, as the team has struggled to maximize their potential and chemistry all season.
The Sixers were without star guard Ben Simmons in their series against the Celtics. But Boston was without forward Gordon Hayward. And although Simmons is more important to the Sixers than Hayward is to the Celtics, the team simply did not look good. And now, Brown is gone.
Questions certainly need to be asked about the team’s roster. And various roster moves in the past few seasons.
It won’t be a surprise if more big moves are made in Philly, either with big-name players being moved in free agency or additional changes in the front office. At this point, anything is possible.
