5- Gerald Henderson Proving a Valuable Addition to Sixers
When the Sixers signed Gerald Henderson this past offseason, they did so to bring a veteran presence into the most youthful locker room in the NBA.
So far, that’s exactly what he’s done.
Henderson has been setting an example for the young guys on the team and showing them what it takes to compete as an NBA player. Night in and night out, it seems like Henderson is constantly on the ground, diving for loose balls and absorbing contact as he drives through the lane.
He’s brought a toughness to the Sixers organization that has desperately needed just that.
On Monday, he dropped 19 points (6-for-8 field goals) and connected on all three of his 3-point attempts.
The Sixers signed him to a two-year deal, $18 million contract this past summer, and so far, he’s earning every bit of it.
Next: Will 76ers or Pelicans Have Better Record?
Next up, the Sixers will host the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday, Nov. 23 with the tipoff slated for 7:00 p.m.
Let’s see if the Sixers can extend their win-streak to three games.
