Former Sixers forward Dario Saric helps Suns beat Clippers in Game 2

The Philadelphia 76ers are done for the 2020-21 season as they were eliminated in the Eastern Conference semifinals when they fell in Game 7 at home to the Atlanta Hawks. It was a disappointing ending to a promising season.

With the Sixers now done, it is time to start paying attention to former members of the Sixers in the playoffs.

A key member of The Process era is contributing to a title contender out in the Western Conference and that is Dario Saric of the Phoenix Suns. Saric played for Philadelphia for a little over a season before being traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Jimmy Butler deal.

In Game 2 of the Western Conference finals, Saric had 11 points, three rebounds, and two steals as the Suns knocked off the Los Angeles Clippers 104-103. DeAndre Ayton threw down a perfectly thrown lob by Jae Crowder with 0.7 seconds left to lift Phoenix to the win.

The Suns are now two wins away from the NBA finals, but the Clippers were down 0-2 in each of the first two rounds. Saric and the Suns will have to be ready for a response as the series now shifts to Los Angeles for Game 3 on Thursday.
