Rights To Ricky Sanchez: The Sixers Podcast

The Sixers were chugging along, beating the crap out of the Bulls, and Joel Embiid just... disappeared. We found out it was his calf, but it was still... weird. We talk about the weirdness, the win, the weirdness again, and whether the Sixers can get the #2 seed. Spike then makes a statement about JJ Redick, whether Daryl Morey caused the Jokic phenomenon, and we wind up asking how many NBA player...
