@OHGEENiCK: "I’m trying my best to figure out why we just don’t rule him out for the season because if it’s a knee flaring issue, he’ll play 3 games and then it’ll flare up again. Might as well not play until October when he’s fully healthy & then manage him to keep him healthy."

@PhillySicksers: "Not Breaking news here. Please stop with this Keith. It already is aggravating enough for the few people left following the Sixers"

@davidleibo: "He should be rule out the rest of the season because it's over. PG is not the player they thought they signed and Maxey is electric but not that guy without support. Morey is a grifter."
