The NBA has been suspended since March 11 due to the global pandemic that has everybody quarantined and protecting themselves and their family. This has affected everybody in different ways and for a tightly knit group like the Philadelphia 76ers, it is killing them right now.
Backup point guard Raul Neto posted a picture on his Instagram of himself and the team in a huddle with the caption that he misses the game and his teammates a lot. Even though he has been in and out of the team’s rotation backing up Ben Simmons, he still has a big part on this team.
There were then a few comments on the post by teammates such as Tobias Harris and Furkan Korkmaz expressing their desire to get back out on the floor. Josh Richardson then shared Neto’s post to his Instagram story.

There is hope on the horizon as the NBA is looking at possibly resuming the season at Disney World in Orlando, but that will depend on everybody being able to stay safe throughout the entirety of the rest of the season. [lawrence-related id=30325,30318,30310]
