Daily News | Sixers’ Shake Milton wants to move on from last season, reprise role as second-unit sparkplug
The 76ers guard has added 12 pounds of muscle to his now 6-foot-5, 220-pound frame. Milton’s also sporting a stylish, cornrow braids hairstyle.
“I think he’s had a great camp overall, just the way he’s playing,” Tobias Harris said Monday before the exhibition game against the Cavaliers at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. “He had a really good summer as well, working his butt off to get better. His frame, his body is stronger and is healthy overall, too, which is the main thing.”» READ MORE:He supplanted Tyrese Maxey as the starting point guard last season after the first exhibition game.
Upon returning on Feb. 11, Milton struggled to consistently find his groove and appeared to be out of the team’s long-term plans. However, he was the most impressive player in the Sixers’ Game 6 loss to the Miami Heat in the second round of the NBA playoffs. That was the role Milton had two seasons ago, averaging career highs of 13.0 points and 3.1 assists in 66 games with four starts. That he is in position to regain that role after overcoming last season’s hurdles hasn’t gone unnoticed by teammates. They’ve also noticed the fact that he never sulked or made excuses about injuries impacting his play.
