Sixers Scrimmage Preview vs. Oklahoma City Thunder

After over four months waiting, Friday’s return of Philadelphia 76ers basketball provided everything fans could have hoped to see and more. Led by the new-look starting lineup, the Sixers built a huge lead over Memphis that eventually ballooned to as many as 29 points. Ben Simmons looked terrific in his adjusted role, firing a pair of catch-and-shoot 3s from the corners (making one), while still tallying nine assists against just one turnover. Tobias Harris recorded a double-double in just 22 minutes, and Joel Embiid was spry enough to jump over the barrier in front of the bench area after Norvel Pelle hit a 3.
