The Philadelphia 76ers have not been all that inspiring as of late. With yesterday afternoon's loss to the Utah Jazz, the Sixers have lost 16 in a row. Lately only the prospects of the 2014 draft has given fans any excitement. But today, Sixers fans may have one thing to look forward to: the debut of 2013 first round pick Nerlens Noel.
Noel made an announcement of sorts. On Twitter this afternoon, Noel just had to give fans a date:
4-4-14
— Nerlens Noel (@NerlensNoel3) March 9, 2014
Presumably, this will be Noel's long-awaited Sixers debut.
Noel was taken by the New Orleans Pelicans with the sixth pick in the 2013 draft, then almost immediately traded to the Sixers. Noel tore his ACL last February while playing for the Kentucky Wildcats. At the time of the draft some thought that Noel would completely miss the 2013-2014 season.
