The 76ers coach Doc Rivers has revealed that Shake Milton will be in permanent rotation for the team with Embiid, Harden, and Tyrese Maxey nursing injuries.
 
“We’re deep. So everybody is not going to play. But certain guys will and Shake [Milton] will be one of them," River said
 
“There’s always a competition going on, a competition for minutes and Shake has proven that he should play. Hopefully that continues, you know? Can he play this role with shorter minutes? That’s what happens. 
 
“Guys get a lot of minutes and they can play. They get shorter minutes and sometimes they can’t. But he will be able to. Shake is just another guard. We know we can use him, so that’s really good.”
