Elton Brand came out of retirement in January to give the Philadelphia 76ers a veteran presence amid their frustrating season, but he's unlikely to return next season.

“Yeah, I got real sore and real tired and frustrated. I got everything I wanted,” Brand said, chuckling. “I got to know these guys and help the organization any way I could. I had a good time.”

Brand believes the 76ers have a promising future.

“In my opinion, the future looks bright. Really bright.

“We have some really high-level players,” he said. “It’s just youth. It takes a few years, a year or two. Guys have made leaps and bounds. You have high draft picks coming in, a lot of flexibility in the cap. So the future looks bright.”
