Dario Saric expects to be ‘110 percent’ for Sixers’ season opener after lower-back soreness during preseason

Dario Saric has been a full participant at the 76ers practices on Thursday and Friday after missing Monday's preseason game against the Dallas Mavericks with lower-back soreness.

"I should be like 110 percent, you know, ready for the Boston game," Saric said of Tuesday's season-opener against the Celtics at TD Garden. "I think the medical staff is doing an awesome job not just me, I think for all guys."

Saric had been listed as day to day. The team was not concerned, but still decided to rest him in the final preseason game.

The Sixers lost 115-112 to the Dallas Mavericks at the Shenzhen Universiade Centre in the second of two NBA China Games meetings between the teams.
