Philadelphia Sixers guard Michael Carter-Williams is still recovering from an offseason right shoulder operation, and won’t be a full participant once training camp opens.
Tony Wroten will run the show in MCW’s absence during the preseason. On the bright side, however, Sixers head coach Brett Brown says that the thin second-year guard has put on about 12 pounds of muscle mass. Per the Philly Daily News:
MCW will not be a full participant at training camp as he still recovers from shoulder surgery. Brett Brown is happy where MCW is tho.

MCW won't be ready to start preseason games. Wroten will have ball in his hands in preseason, says Brown.

In an unprecedented move, the Philadelphia 76ers have decided to tank training camp in order to set the tone for this season.
Unsure how you can put on 12 lbs of muscle(since most of upper body conditioning requires shoulder training to some degree) but can’t participate in scrimmages. Interesting…
Muscle mass is a rather loose definition, here’s how he did it…
