This past offseason has been extremely chaotic for the Philadelphia 76ers and they are definitely happy that the 2021-22 NBA season is finally here, but with the new season comes continued drama within their organization.

When asked to participate in certain drills on Tuesday, the All-Star point guard refused and as a result, he was kicked out of practice and later suspended by the team for a game.
