Nerlens Noel has left The City of Brotherly Love, and he isn't looking back.

When recently approached by a TMZ Sports cameraman, Noel was asked whether he missed Philadelphia.

"Nah," the 23-year-old big man responded.

Noel was rocking a Philadelphia Phillies baseball cap at the time, so his response is likely more telling of his feelings toward the 76ers organization than it is the city itself.

Playing time was hard to come by under former head coach Brett Brown, as both Joel Embiid and Jahlil Okafor were considered top priorities in the frontcourt. A knee injury also sidelined Noel for the first 23 games of the campaign, as well.

He was eventually dealt to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for Andrew Bogut, Justin Anderson, and a 2017 protected first-round draft pick, where he is currently a restricted free agent
