Jaylen Brown gives praise to Sixers two-way big man Tacko Fall
PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia 76ers have an unheralded friendship duo between Jaylen Brown and Tacko Fall as the two of them were teammates before with the Boston Celtics.
Key points
- Fall played 26 games for the Celtics across two seasons before playing in 11 games for the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2021-22 and then was out of the league.
- And you never know, he might get in there and make a contribution for us." It is impressive to see Fall work his way back to the league the way he has.
- But it's good to see him out there." Fall has had to work his way back from injuries and be able to find ways to be effective for a team.
The 7-foot-6 Fall, undrafted out of UCF, has played in two games for the Sixers while on a two-way deal after being out of the league for four seasons.
After getting some time toward the end of Philadelphia's win over the Toronto Raptors, Brown gave praise to Fall as he discussed their relationship.
Additional details
- He then worked his way back with the Sixers as he is looking to eventually earn his place in the NBA for this group.
- "It’s a testament to him and his work, man, and his character," Brown finished.
- The Sixers have been in need of tall players, and obviously standing at 7-foot-6, he will be looking to earn his place in Philadelphia.
- "Tacko's a great human being, humanitarian, all about the community, all about giving back to where he's from," Brown said.
- After some tough injuries and tough breaks early in his career, he easily could have hung up the sneakers and turn in another direction.
