Share this: The Philadelphia 76ers have too many centers with star talent and not enough minutes for each of them to develop to their fullest potential. One of Jahlil Okafor, Joel Embiid and Nerlens Noel probably will have to be traded at some point. According to ESPN’s Marc Stein, the odd man out could be Noel. “Nothing has changed here. Noel has yet to appear in a game this season after electing to undergo arthroscopic knee surgery last month, but word is he’d still prefer to be shipped to a new address with so many big men to battle for playing time in Philly,” Stein wrote Tuesday. “Count on the Sixers to accommodate him eventually.” Noel, who averaged 11.1 points and 8.1 rebounds per game

Big Ten Fines Michigan $10K For Jim Harbaugh’s Postgame Rant About Officials
Share this: Jim Harbaugh was unhappy with the officiating in Michigan’s loss to rival Ohio State, and it ended up getting him in trouble. After the Buckeyes beat Michigan 30-27 in double overtime Saturday, the Wolverines coach said he was “bitterly disppointed” in what he thought were “outrageous calls,” including a controversial spot on fourth down in the fourth quarter that gave Ohio State a first down and started a 10-0 run to force overtime.
