PHILADELPHIA–Currently, Dario Saric is a member of the Phoenix Suns these days. However, before that, he began his career with the Philadelphia 76ers where he played in 172 games with 122 started over the course of three seasons.
He was a big part of the team in the 2017-18 season when he averaged 14.6 points and 6.7 rebounds as a starter next to Joel Embiid and he helped the team reach Round 2 of the playoffs. He was considered one of the top players on the team and was looking to help Philadelphia take the next step in the Eastern Conference.
13 games into his third season with the team, Philadelphia traded him along with Robert Covington to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the big Jimmy Butler trade. It was a move that had to be made, but Saric discussed his initial emotions after the deal.
