The Philadelphia 76ers made their 2022-23 preseason debut Monday with a decisive 127-108 victory over the Brooklyn Nets. Tyrese Maxey starred, dropping 20 points (6-of-8 shooting), three assists, one rebound and one steal in 14 minutes of work. Philadelphia nabbed 20 steals and forced 27 turnovers. A lengthier summation of all the action can be found here.
I’m going to single out a slew of plays that I think could be relevant once the regular season (and beyond) rolls around. Given the Sixers were short three starters and four rotation players, it’s difficult to glean too much from this, even before the preseason caveat comes into focus.
