76ers' Patrick Beverley Trolls Magic: 'Why Are You So Bad?'
Philadelphia 76ers point guard Patrick Beverley is set to play the Orlando Magic for the first time since making comments about the team earlier in the offseason.
Back in October, Beverley was critical at how high Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner were ranked in ESPN's NBA Top 100 list.
ESPN ranked Wagner as the No. 52 player, with the reigning Rookie of the Year Banchero higher up as the No. 30 player. After hearing each player's name and ranking, Beverley stared back in confusion, asking, "Who???"

"If you got two people out of the top 100 on your team, Orlando Magic, you should be winning games," Beverley said on his podcast before asking, "Why are you so bad?"
The Magic has changed the narrative since Beverley's comments, starting the season 18-11 and in fourth place in the Eastern Conference. The wins are starting to come and the team now sits just two games back of Beverley's Sixers.
The Sixers and Magic are set to tip off at 7 p.m. ET inside the Kia Center.
