2019-20 Philadelphia 76ers Roster and Stats

The 76ers were led by All-Star center Joel Embiid, who averaged 23.0 points, 11.6 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game. Ben Simmons also had a strong season, averaging 16.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 8.2 assists per game. However, the team struggled to find consistency throughout the season and were often plagued by injuries.

Coach Brett Brown's Firing

Brown was hired as the 76ers' head coach in 2013. He led the team to the playoffs in each of his seven seasons, but the team never advanced past the second round. Brown was criticized for his team's lack of success, particularly in the playoffs. After the 76ers' disappointing performance in the 2019-20 season, the team decided to make a change.

The 76ers are now expected to begin a search for a new head coach. Several candidates have already been mentioned, including Tyronn Lue, Mike D'Antoni, and David Fizdale.
