The 76ers\u2019 game against the Oklahoma City Thunder last night (October 26) is trending on social media, but it\u2019s not because the world is excited about the team\u2019s home opener.<\/p>\n

Singer Sevyn Streeter<\/a> stirred up interest when she tweeted about why she didn\u2019t sing the national anthem before the game. She says she was barred because she was wearing a jersey that said \u201cWe matter.\u201d<\/p>\n
