Philadelphia je po porazu z 0:4 proti Bostonu v prvem krogu končnice NBA v Orlandu odpustila trenerja Brett Browna. Brown je ekipo vodil zadnjih sedem sezon, tudi v času znamenitega 'procesa', ko je ekipa namenoma slabo igrala v želji po čim boljših izborih na NBA naborih, kar se jim je sicer obrestovalo, vendar rezultati tega procesa še niso potrdili.

Brown se je v izjavi za javnost zahvalil igralcem, navijačem in vodstvu kluba za zaupanje in jim zaelel veliko uspeha v prihodnosti.  

Brett Brown coached through The Process, coached through front office upheaval, coached through injuries, coached through infighting. He handled all of it with class, and even if indeed it was time for Philadelphia to move on from him as a coach, they are losing a quality human. pic.twitter.com/qqpojHyEbj
