Sixers Bell Ringer: Joel Embiid scores 19 in return to lineup against Hornets

Tyrese Maxey - 3

Well, I have a feeling Tyrese Maxey won’t be going for the preseason Bell Ringers sweep. After an impressive first three outings, the third-year speedster went just 3-of-13 against the Charlotte Hornets, including 1-of-7 inside the arc. He was bound to cool off at some point, I suppose.

Regardless, Joel Embiid re-entered the starting five after a one-game hiatus and scored 19 points. James Harden drilled a quartet of long balls en route to 17 points. Their efforts were enough to help the Philadelphia 76ers cap off the 2022-23 preseason at an undefeated 4-0, knocking off Charlotte, 99-94.
