Every player in Philadelphia 76ers history who has worn No. 20

Here is a list of the 22 players who have worn the No. 20 uniform of the Philadelphia 76ers in the franchise’s history.

It’s summertime in the NBA, so it’s time to learn some history. The Philadelphia 76ers are one of the older franchises in the NBA. Their history dates to the 1949-50 season.

With that longevity, the team has had hundreds of players come through the City of Brotherly Love. Sixers Wire looks at the No. 20 which has been worn by 22 of those players in the history of the franchise.

This running series will go through all of the uniform numbers worn in franchise history. The previous edition of this series was a list compiling the 14 players who have worn the No. 21.

Here is the list of the 22 who have worn No. 20 in Sixers history:

Kevin Durant roasts Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot before USA vs. France

Kevin Durant is already calling out France forward Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot.

Team USA will open their Olympic campaign against France on July 27. This means Nets star Kevin Durant will be competing against Nets teammate Timothe-Luwawu Cabarrot. When asked about the matchup, the 32-year-old made sure to let us know that TLC can’t guard him:

“I definitely talked my (expletive) to TLC a couple times about how he can’t guard me and how I lock him up on defense. So I can’t wait to talk even more (expletive) when I see him with his national team.”

Let’s be honest here. Durant didn’t lie one bit. He’s one of the most unguardable players in the world. KD will be causing nothing but havoc for France on the offensive end. As for the defensive end, Durant claims he has TLC all figured out. This will be key for when the two countries face off; however, France has other NBA talent on the roster too. One that stands out in particular is the Defensive Player of the Year, Rudy Gobert. Durant understands this will be a battle nevertheless, but that isn’t stopping him from being confident going in.

Jeff Green, Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot questionable vs. Kings; Kevin Durant out

The Brooklyn Nets could be without more players than usual on Tuesday when they host the Sacramento Kings at Barclays Center.

Iman Shumpert may make his return to the floor in a Nets uniform on Tuesday when Brooklyn plays host to the Sacramento Kings — and fans at Barclays Center for the first time in 2020-21.

While the Nets may get Shumpert back from his hamstring injury and Tyler Johnson from his left adductor strain — both are listed as probable — Brooklyn may be without other important pieces on Tuesday.

After leaving the Nets’ win on Sunday against the Los Angeles Clippers early, both Jeff Green and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot are questionable to play Tuesday. Green is dealing with a right shoulder contusion, and Luwawu-Cabarrot has a right hip contusion.

Kevin Durant also remains sidelined due to a left hamstring strain. Spencer Dinwiddie (ACL surgery) is also out, and Reggie Perry is with Brooklyn’s G League affiliate, the Long Island Nets.

Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot ruled out for remainder of Sunday’s game

The Brooklyn Nets are down yet another important piece on Sunday against the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Brooklyn Nets will have to move forward without Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. The wing had to leave the game at Staples Center early due to a right hip contusion.

Luwawu-Cabarrot’s hip injury comes shortly after he was battling right knee soreness — that came against the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday, but he was able to play in the game.

Luwawu-Cabarrot was only able to log six minutes off the bench on Sunday. In that short time, he did not get a shot off, but he did grab a pair of rebounds. The Nets wing also had two fouls before departing against the Clippers.

On top of Luwawu-Cabarrot, Kevin Durant (hamstring strain), Iman Shumpert (hamstring), Tyler Johnson (left adductor), Spencer Dinwiddie (ACL surgery) and Reggie Perry (G League) are unavailable for the Nets.

Here is the projected rotation for the Nets after trading for James Harden

The Brooklyn Nets made an earth-shattering move, adding James Harden to a roster that already had superstars Kevin Durant and James Harden.

The Brooklyn Nets made an earth-shattering move, adding James Harden to a roster that already had superstars Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.

Note that the Nets still have three roster spots available for additional moves, so they might not be done making acquisitions quite yet. ESPN’s Bobby Marks reported that Brooklyn can offer the taxpayer midlevel exception ($5.7M) and the minimum exception.

He also speculated that they could receive a disabled player exception ($5.7M) for the injury suffered by Spencer Dinwiddie, who is out for the remainder of the season with a partially torn ACL.

Here is how the roster looks, as it stands right now, to get a better idea of what holes must be filled.

Nets vs. Hawks: 3 things we learned from Brooklyn’s high-scoring win

Through their first three games, the Atlanta Hawks had no problem scoring. Only thing was, they’d faced some lesser teams to start the 2020-21 season – or at least not ones of the same playing field as a healthy Brooklyn Nets team. But Atlanta …

Through their first three games, the Atlanta Hawks had no problem scoring. Only thing was, they’d faced some lesser teams to start the 2020-21 season — or at least not ones of the same playing field as a healthy Brooklyn Nets team. But Atlanta showed their offense is no joke, making the Nets work until the very end. Ultimately, Brooklyn bounced back from their back-to-back losses with the return of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, who each scored over 20 points in the Nets’ 145-141 win on Wednesday.

“I definitely need a beer,” Nets coach Steve Nash after the win.

Brooklyn will be tested by the Hawks again on Friday, but before moving onto that game, here are three things we learned from Wednesday’s meeting.

Nets vs. Grizzlies: 3 things we learned from Brooklyn’s overtime loss

The Brooklyn Nets came close to surviving a Kevin Durant-Kyrie Irving rest day, but ultimately came up short.

No Kevin Durant. No Kyrie Irving. No Spencer Dinwiddie. No win for Brooklyn on Monday.

The Nets tried to survive without their two superstars — who were resting on the second day of Brooklyn’s back-to-back — and their jack-of-all-trades No. 2 guard, who appears to be done for 2020-21 with a partially torn ACL, but the Memphis Grizzlies managed to outlast Caris LeVert and company at Barclays Center on Monday. Even after Ja Morant went down with an ankle injury and couldn’t return, the Nets were the ones who had to force overtime — where they ultimately lost to the Grizzlies, 116-111.

Here are three things we learned from Brooklyn’s second loss in as many days.

Nets vs. Hornets: 3 things we learned from Brooklyn’s first 2020-21 loss

Surprisingly, the Brooklyn Nets suffered their first loss of 2020-21 at the hands of a team that had previously been winless.

The Brooklyn Nets suffered their first loss of the 2020-21 season on Sunday — not to Kyrie Irving’s old team, the Boston Celtics, or Kevin Durant’s, the Golden State Warriors, or one of the elite teams from the Eastern or Western Conference. Brooklyn lost 106-104 to Charlotte as Irving’s old Celtics teammates, Gordon Hayward (28 points) and Terry Rozier (19), powered the Hornets to their first win of 2020-21.

In the course of things, the Nets lost Spencer Dinwiddie to a right knee strain. Jeff Green had to receive stitches after taking a hit above his right eye in the fourth quarter, but he was able to return late in the contest.

Here are three things we learned from Brooklyn’s surprising first loss of the season.

Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot modified his offseason routine to help Nets

If Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot wants minutes in 2020-21, must find a way to fit in Steve Nash’s scheme and accent Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.

Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot may be the reason the Nets were able to move on from Garrett Temple ahead of the 2020-21 NBA season, but the wing still has to solidify himself in Brooklyn’s rotation.

Although he had an impressive offensive performance in the bubble, Luwawu-Cabarrot will have far fewer opportunities on the offensive end in 2020-21 with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving healthy and Spencer Dinwiddie back after missing the seeding games and 2020 NBA Playoffs.

All the while, TLC still has to bring it on the defensive end.

“The way the team is built, I know and believe that I’m not going to be on the ball — with the ball — that much on the court. So just working on catch-and-shoot, running in transition, some dribble shots, all kinds of stuff — pullover behind the screen shoots, all these types of things,” he said on a Zoom call with reporters Friday. “And I’ve been watching videos [from] the bubble and the past year [for] defense to keep my mind ready and keep my mind in good form to start the season.”

Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot’s run in bubble continues to garner attention

Could Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot be a part of the solution in Brooklyn after his play for the Nets in the Disney bubble?

[jwplayer 8vgju127]

Caris LeVert walked out of the Disney bubble with some hardware. Jacque Vaughn turned a lot of heads as the Nets upset both the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Clippers during seeding play.

But while LeVert and Vaughn’s value improved during Brooklyn’s time in Florida, there’s still one member of the Nets who may have taken a larger step forward.

Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot.

Not only did TLC average 14.8 points per game in Brooklyn’s eight seeding games, he also shot 45.1% from long-range — all while bringing the same defensive intensity he typically brings.

Between his play in the final eight games of the regular season and Brooklyn’s abbreviated postseason run, John Hollinger of The Athletic had to include Luwawu-Cabarrot among his “Tyler Herro All-Stars” — the nine young players who burst on the scene during the league’s restart:

“The Nets have done a brisk market in reclamation projects (most notably Joe Harris and Spencer Dinwiddie) and Luwawu-Cabarrot may be the latest example. Despite all the bouncing around he’s done, he’s still young at 25. He’s on their books for the minimum next season, too, which is important when Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving both have max deals and [Joe] Harris is an unrestricted free agent. He appears to have established his place in the NBA, and because of the Nets’ tax issues, his deal may also impact the future of Garrett Temple.”
