Brett Brown: 'Our Goal Is To Make Playoffs'
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The 2017-18 Philadelphia 76ers have on clear goal in mind --- make the playoffs.
Markelle Fultz has pretty much guaranteed it will happen, J.J. Redick hasn't shied away from it, and Joel Embiid talked about last season.
On Tuesday -- the first day of practice -- head coach Brett Brown admitted it.
The team's 2016 No. 1 overall pick Ben Simmons was back at practice, after missing his entire first NBA season to a foot injury.
Embiid continues to recover from last season's meniscus surgery and has not yet been cleared for five-on-five play.
With Fultz, Embiid, Redick, Simmons, Robert Covington, and Dario Saric the Sixers -- if healthy (of course) -- should be able to make some noise in the eastern conference.
