The Philadelphia 76ers are sitting out the 2025 playoffs after an injury-riddled disaster led to a 24-58 record. The Sixers only saw superstar big man Joel Embiid only play 19 games and their star trio of Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey only played 18 games together–finishing 15 of them.
With that being said, now is the time to check on some former Sixers in this current postseason. TJ McConnell started his postseason run on Saturday as the Indiana Pacers took on the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 1 of Round 1. McConnell hopped off the bench and had 11 points and five assists in a 117-95 win over the Bucks. Indiana led by as many as 28 and held on to take a 1-0 lead in the series.
TJ McConnell is that one guy at the YMCA that’s all gas and no brakes. He may be annoying, but you gotta respect the grind.

McConnell spent his first four seasons with the Sixers after going undrafted out of Arizona. He was a key part of the team’s bench unit even after “The Process” era before leaving for the Pacers after the 2018-19 season. He has since spent six seasons in Indiana and was a key part of the 2024 team that reached the Eastern Conference finals.
