PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia 76ers apologized Friday for canceling the national anthem performance of a singer wearing a We Matter jersey.The 76ers backtracked from their original stance when they told R&B singer Sevyn Streeter she could not perform the anthem before Wednesday nights season opener because of the shirts slogan.We are sorry that this happened, the Sixers said in a Friday statement. After receiving feedback from our players, basketball operations staff and ownership group, we believe that the wrong decision was made, and Sevyn should have been welcomed to sing. We apologize to her, and in an effort to move the conversation forward, we have reached out to offer her an opportunity to return and perform at a game of her choice. We are waiting to hear back.A person familiar with the decision to invite Streeter back said she would be allowed to wear her We Matter jersey if she decided to sing. The person spoke on condition of anonymity Friday because the Sixers had not announced the detail publicly.Streeter could not immediately be reached for comment.Streeter said in an interview with The Associated Press late Wednesday she was told she would not sing just minutes before her performance.Id say two minutes before we were about to walk out ... the organization told me that I could not wear my shirt while singing the national anthem at their game, the R&B singer said by phone. I was never given any kind of dress code. I was never asked beforehand to show my wardrobe.The Sixers players met Thursday and were considering whether to respond to Streeters cancellation.Everybody expressed their emotions about it, forward Robert Covington said. We want to take steps about it. We just dont know exactly what steps we want to take. We talked about a lot of different things.The Sixers play at home Saturday against Atlanta.

Has some of the shine come off of Ronald Koemans start as Everton manager?The Dutchman was pushing all the right buttons early in the season, but now faces a challenge to get his side back to their winning ways. His next opportunity to do so comes Sunday when the Toffees welcome West Ham United to Goodison Park.After starting the campaign unbeaten in their first five matches, the wheels have fallen off a bit on the blue half of Merseyside with the club winless in four straight. Everton (4-3-2) havent claimed a full three points since a 3-1 win over promoted side Middlesbrough back on Sept. 17.The Toffees enter the weekend sixth in the table with 15 points.Its not about our last five games, its not about the first six, its not about winning or losing, its an overview of what has happened and that we want to change, Koeman added. Of course, we know if you dont win in the Premier League then every time you play you come closer to a must-win game.I think we need to turn it around but it happens in football. Im prepared to get in tough times and also prepared for how we started the season, because thats football.Last weeks 2-1 defeat at the hands of Burnley materialised in the worst possible fashion. After the hosts opened the scoring in the 39th minute at Turf Moor, Yannick Bolasie equalised in the 58th. Everton dominated play most of the second half, but Scott Arfield fired home the stoppage-time winner, thus sending Koemans boys home shockingly disappointed.Koeman, though, believed the final score was an unfair reflection of the game.I mentioned to the players that we had a good start, he said. Maybe we dropped a little bit too much in the last 20 minutes of the first half, but it was an unlucky goal to concede.We had a good reaction in the second half. It was with much more intensity, we created more and were more dangerous. We scored a good goal and you expect to win the game, but then what happened in the last mminute was hard to take.dddddddddddd It was unfair with what happened on the pitch.Despite the recent dip in form, striker Romelu Lukaku continues to be a bright spot. Entering this weekends action, the Belgian international has netted six goals -- second only to Chelseas Diego Costa.On the injury front, left-back Leighton Baines and midfielder James McCarthy have been ruled out. Baines has missed the last five matches with a hamstring issue while McCarthy has picked up a similar problem.After starting the season with five defeats in their first six Premier League fixtures, West Ham United (3-1-5) have done well to bounce back a bit. Theyve found themselves unbeaten in three straight, including consecutive 1-0 wins over Crystal Palace and Sunderland each of the past two weeks.Winston Red netted the stoppage-time winner against Sunderland last weekend, and the Hammers were able to continue their form in midweek with an impressive 2-1 win over Chelsea in the EFL Cup. Theyll face Manchester United at Old Trafford in the quarterfinals next month.Goalkeeper Darren Randolph believes West Ham proved they are a match for anyone.We never seem to get the easy route in cup competitions, but its another trip to Old Trafford, where we went last season and put in some good performances, Randolph said.It was a good display for the whole game. Obviously to beat Chelsea as well was great. Everyone who came in did their jobs and it was a good win, and a good game for the neutral as well. Everybodys happy.The Hammers will need all hands on deck if they are to take points away from Goodison. West Ham manager Slaven Bilic believes he should have a full squad.Its a big game, Bilic said. We played a very demanding game physically and psychologically on (against Chelsea) and we have a few knocks and all that.
