Paul Pierce Believes 76ers Star Needs To Leave The Team

It was thought that the Philadelphia 76ers had assembled a championship-caliber team this summer when they signed veteran star forward Paul George and added him to a roster that already included superstar center Joel Embiid and rising star guard Tyrese Maxey.

But Embiid has missed a bunch of games for multiple reasons, and the Sixers started the season 2-12.

While they have since won eight of 13 games, it isn’t sunny in Philadelphia by any means right now.

Former Boston Celtics forward Paul Pierce said on Fox Sports 1’s “Speak” that Embiid needs to leave the Sixers and could use a change of scenery.
