Time for the real thing.
The Sixers wrapped up the preseason with a 120-106 win over the Atlanta Hawks Friday night. In his preseason debut, Joel Embiid put up 21 points on 3-of-12 shooting, five rebounds and one assist in 33 minutes of action.
Tyrese Maxey dished out 12 assists in his first game with Embiid this year, and put up 15 points to go along with it. De’Anthony Melton was the game’s high man, putting up 29 points on 11-of-16 shooting.
Here are some thoughts at the buzzer.
