The Philadelphia 76ers are in the process of making a lot of huge changes to their lineup after losing Ben Simmons so they have a lot of stuff to work through while also trying to win some games.

On Sunday, they take on a Portland Trail Blazers team that is still trying to at least clinch a spot in the play-in tournament in the Western Conference. The Blazers are battling amongst a handful of teams inside the bubble and one of those teams is the Phoenix Suns.

The Suns were considered longshots to make any noise inside the bubble, but they are proving people wrong as they are currently 5-0 in Orlando and are right there with the Blazers. This is leading Suns guard Mikal Bridges to root for the Sixers to knock off Portland to give them even more of a shot.

Hey @sixers good luck today 😅😁

Bridges, of course, was selected by the Sixers in the 2018 NBA Draft before being sent to the Suns in exchange for Zhaire Smith. The Sixers can now help the young man out of Villanova and his team if they can get a win on Sunday.
