Marjanovic arrived in Philadelphia from the Los Angeles Clippers in the February trade which featured Marjanovic’s friend and co-host of “Bobi + Tobi”, Tobias Harris making his high profile move to the Sixers.

During his short stint with the Sixers, Marjanovic averaged 8.2 points and 5.1 rebounds per game, providing crucial minutes for the Sixers throughout the injuries sustained by all-star center Joel Embiid.
The Sixers finished the 2018-19 season with a record of 51-31, the third best record in the Eastern Conference before being eliminated from the Playoffs by the Toronto Raptors. The Sixers will once again look to make a Playoff run next season but will do so without the aid of Marjanovic and Jimmy Butler, who has agreed to join the Miami Heat.
The move signals the separation of “Bobi and Tobi,” one of the league’s most prominent locker room bromances. From 2016-19, Marjanovic played alongside forward Tobias Harris through a pair of midseason trades that saw the tandem move from the Detroit Pistons to the Los Angeles Clippers to the Philadelphia 76ers.
