The Philadelphia 76ers are seeking more win-now players to fill out the roster ahead of the 2021-22 season and the title chase they intend to make.
While they have some solid, younger players, the Sixers could use some more veteran players who can win now at the moment. That is why they are going to be among one of the teams who will attend a workout for a former Eastern Conference finalist.
Lance Stephenson, who has not played in the NBA since the 2018-19 season with the Los Angeles Lakers, is looking to get back in the league. He was a key member of the Indiana Pacers when they made the Eastern Conference finals in both 2013 and 2014. So, he may be able to help Philadelphia off the bench.
The Milwaukee Bucks, the Denver Nuggets and the Brooklyn Nets will also be in attendance of his workout.
Free agent guard Lance Stephenson will hold a private workout this morning in Las Vegas in front of NBA personnel with reps from Milwaukee, Denver, Philadelphia and Brooklyn among those expected to attend, league sources tell @YahooSports.

The Sixers could bring Stephenson on a veteran’s minimum deal and be able to add a nice bench piece. When he is right, the 30-year old can do a lot of good things out on the floor such as bring tough defense and knock down some open looks from deep.
