While the Philadelphia 76ers have begun looking ahead to next season, the NBA playoffs are still going on. It’s time to take a look around the playoffs and check in on any former Sixers.
TJ McConnell, who spent the first four seasons of his career in Philadelphia, had an impact performance on Sunday for the Indiana Pacers in a 130-109 Game 7 win over the New York Knicks on the road.
He had 12 points, seven assists and two rebounds in 23 minutes off the bench. He was a plus-21 in those minutes to help the Pacers advance to the Eastern Conference finals to take on the Boston Celtics.
