The 76ers fell to 0-3 under new coach Doug Collins with their loss to the Pacers on Saturday night.

Collins said after the game that his biggest responsibility is changing the team's culture.

"We have to break a lot of losing habits," Collins said.

"I told the guys after the game that there is not one guy in this room who has a winning record in the NBA as a pro. Are we going to change? That's my job, to get it done."

76ers forward Thaddeus Young is hoping to receive a contract extension from the team before the Nov. 1 deadline.

"I would love to be extended," Young said. "Who wouldn't? I love the city. I love the fans. I want to be here. This is the place that drafted me. I want to continue my career here. But I'm just letting my agent (Jim Tanner) take care of everything. Hopefully, it works out."

Young is making $2.9 million this season. If he doesn't receive an extension, he'll become a restricted free agent in July.

The 76ers and Tanner "have had some discussions," team president Rod Thorn said Thursday. "It doesn't appear that we will (agree on an extension) at this time."

There was a report on ESPN Tuesday night that Andre Iguodala had requested a trade.

Iguodala denied the report on Friday night.

"Where does this stuff come from?" he asked.

The 76ers went into the season thinking they could contend for a playoff spot, but the organization has changed their stance writes Bob Cooney of the Philadelphia Daily News.

"Their strategy seems to have changed from "we can win with this group" to "we want to see what we have and make changes." They, meaning president Rod Thorn to general manager Ed Stefanski and on down through the front-office guys to Collins, all realize that this is not a team that they are going to try and tweak to make the playoffs. It appears they believe that a player added here or there really isn't going to make a difference," Cooney wrote.

The 76ers lost their first game of the season to the Heat on Wednesday night.

76ers rookie guard Evan Turner will start the season coming off the bench.

Turner was the second overall pick in June's NBA Draft.

Philadelphia coach Doug Collins chose not to start Turner for Wednesday night's opener against Miami.

The 76ers will start Jrue Holiday and Andre Iguodala in the backcourt.

Andre Iguodala sat out Saturday's practice because of a sprained right wrist.

It isn't yet known when Iguodala will rejoin his teammates in practice.

Philadelphia will open their season on Wednesday against Miami.

76ers coach Doug Collins returned to practice with the team on Friday after missing two preseason games because of symptoms related to a concussion he sustained back in May.

Collins said after practice that he fainted in a coffee shop on Memorial Day in Phoenix and broke three ribs. He also sustained a concussion.

"The doctor feels very good about it because he knows what it is," Collins said. "One of the crystals in my ear was knocked loose. It wasn't related to fatigue or stress or anything like that."

The Philadelphia 76ers announced today that the team has exercised its third-year option on guard Jrue Holiday and its fourth-year option on forward/center Marreese Speights.  Both players are now under contract through the 2011-12 season.

Holiday (6-4, 180) was the 17th overall pick by Philadelphia in the 2009 NBA Draft and was the youngest player in the league last season.  In 73 games with 51 starts, Holiday averaged 8.0 points, 3.8 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.09 steals in 24.2 minutes per game.  Over the final 16 games, he averaged 12.0 points, 6.6 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.94 steals.

Speights (6-10, 255) was the 16th overall pick by Philadelphia in the 2008 NBA Draft.  In 141 career games played with the Sixers, he has averaged 8.1 points and 3.9 rebounds in 16.2 minutes per game while shooting 49.0% from the floor.  Speights scored 20-plus points in three of the final six games last season, and seven times overall, after doing so once as a rookie in 2008-09.

76ers head coach Doug Collins has been suffering from headaches and dizziness since a fall in a coffee shop on Memorial Day.

He sustained a concussion in the fall.

Collins flew out early Tuesday afternoon and had a neurological appointment at Lankenau Hospital.

"He told us this morning, he hadn't said anything before," said assistant coach Michael Curry.

"Hopefully they'll run the tests and hopefully he'll be good. I haven't noticed any difference. We've been meeting a lot and going over a lot of things in preparation for these next two games and for the start of the season. We've been together a lot and spent a lot of hours together. I haven't seen anything different."

The Raptors defeated the 76ers by a final of 119-116 on Wednesday in a rare preseason double overtime game.

Jrue Holiday had a triple-double for Philadelphia with 18 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists.
