Sixers Make Adjustment on How to Pronounce Dario Saric's Name

So it turns out, we finally have an answer as to how to really pronounce Dario Saric's name.

When it comes to The Homie's name, usually the controversy is over the correct pronunciation of his last name, which our expert Marc Zumoff pronounces perfectly. However, in the season opener against the Celtics on TNT, fans gave broadcaster Kevin Harlan plenty of grief for pronouncing it "incorrectly."

Third year of his career and Dario is borderline being called "Dorito Saric" by Kevin Harlan. Are we for real?— Dan - Vociferous and emotional at times (online) (@dansballofwax) October 17, 2018

Why does Kevin Harlan keep announcing Dario's name "Duh-ree-O"? Sheesh, I know it's an odd name but does no one give him a pronunciation sheet? #SixersTalk— Ryan Gillen (@TheBigGilbowski) October 17, 2018

It makes sense that fans would be angry. It's certainly not how our beloved players name is normally pronounced.

However, later in the game, Harlan called out the Sixers organization for the issue in the pronunciation guide. Later, he provided Twitter with evidence.

However, it looks like the game notes for tonight's matchup with the Bulls have been slightly adjusted … to reflect what the proper pronunciation of Saric's name should be. See below. 

Hm, interesting. For the first game "dah" was in lowercase and "RIO" was capitalized. That has now been reversed.

Maybe Harlan wasn't totally wrong after all. He can only go with what he's told.
