Daily News | Pistons’ Nerlens Noel says he takes pride in helping Sixers’ Joel Embiid develop into a future Hall of Famer
Heading into the 2016-17 season, Noel wanted clarity about his future with the team. He loved Philadelphia and his Sixers teammates. But after three years of watching the team tank, after wondering how he fit in, Noel needed for his current situation to change.
“Nah, I don’t wish that at all,” said Noel, who had five points, five rebounds, and three blocks in his first start as a Piston because of injuries to both Detroit big men, Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart. “I had my own path. I had my own journey. Everything here that is coming to success, I’m generally happy for everybody here. I’m even proud of Sam Hinkie for what he was able to start. He doesn’t get enough credit for it. I’m proud of everybody doing it.
“Philadelphia is like a second home to me,” he said. “I have a lot of memories here, a lot of relationships, Joel especially.”
