What happened
LeBron James said at 76ers media day and again after Sunday’s loss to Detroit that he can play center, but not as a sustained role.
Philadelphia used him at the five when Joel Embiid sat with plantar fasciitis management, and Nick Nurse said the team had only a few players available there.
LINEUP CONTEXT
The Sixers may keep using James at center only in emergencies unless Embiid’s absences continue and the frontcourt depth is improved later.
