DeAndre Jordan explains what went wrong with the Los Angeles Lakers and he saw an opportunity with the Philadelphia 76ers.

CAMDEN, N.J.–The Philadelphia 76ers returned home on Monday following a tough loss to the Miami Heat on the road on Saturday and they were able to get some time in with new big man addition, DeAndre Jordan.

The 14-year veteran from Texas A&M did join the team down in Miami on Saturday, but he didn’t play as the Sixers still want to give him more time to get acclimated with his new teammates.

As the Sixers convened for shootaround on Monday morning, Jordan explained why he left the Los Angeles Lakers as well as expressed his excitement by playing for the Sixers and the new opportunity he has in front of him.
