Scott, a fan favorite, is battling through a shooting slump that has resulted in decreased playing time. But the 31-year-old is confident he can help the Sixers when called upon. “Playoffs, regular season, preseason, training camp,” Scott said of when he can help the team. “I’m a hooper.” The Sixers acquired Scott from the Los Angeles Clippers as part of a multiplayer trade last season. He quickly became a fan favorite with his grit, bluntness and ability to hit big three-pointers. Scott averaged 7.8 points and shot 41.2% in 27 regular-season games, including three starts, as a Sixer last season.
