Doug Collins to meet with 76ers Elton Brand

Doug Collins and 76ers assistant coach Quin Snyder are expecting to visit with Sixers power forward Elton Brand sometime in the next several days. Previous attempts to meet with Brand were canceled because of scheduling situations. “I want Elton to feel the love of the game again,” Collins said yesterday from San Diego, where he maintains a residence. “He doesn’t have to be an All-Star, but he can be a winning player. He can do that.” — Philadelphia Daily News
