Much to the delight of League Pass junkies everywhere, Swaggy P is back in Doug Collins’ 76ers rotation. Young played a total of just 24 minutes during a recent three-game stretch, but the Sixers went 1-2 and averaged a mere 86 points in blowout losses to the Raptors and Hornets. Having watched these offensive debacles, Coach Collins must’ve come to the conclusion that Swaggy, erratic as he is, is a necessary evil off the bench, as he’s played more than 29 minutes in three straight games. As a matter of fact, just last night Young experienced his second most extensive stint of the season, playing over 32 minutes in a 110-102 loss to Milwaukee. While his 20-point effort helped the Sixers reach the century mark for just the fourth time in 16 games, it didn’t help them contain the Bucks, who shot 52% from the floor.
So anyway, the Sixers are 2-4 in their last six — 1-2 with Swaggy out of the rotation, and 1-2 with Swaggy in the rotation. Obviously, they just aren’t a very good tea...

Andrew Bynum continues to report progress with his injured knees, but a significant hurdle awaits.

That confidence paid highlight-style dividends on Tuesday night when the 76ers faced-off against the Milwaukee Bucks. In the second quarter, Young drove down the lane from the [...]
