VJ Edgecombe is QUESTIONABLE for tomorrow’s game in Detroit due to a back spasm.

Joel Embiid is OUT due to right knee soreness.

Jared McCain (Assignment) and Paul George (Recovery) are also OUT.

Heard. From what I've seen, McCain has looked a lot better in practice (post-practice shooting at least) than he's looked in game.

The team had hoped to get McCain regular minutes at the NBA level, but it quickly became clear that this would risk them losing games, so they adapted.

It's what smart teams do and what the Sixers have rarely done in the past.

Paul George (left knee) met with doctors tonight to assess his progress.

The β€œfinal stage” of his return to play plan involves him continuing to strengthen his left quad.

He will be re-evaluated later this week.

Not a big +/- guy, but it's truly wild that VJ Edgecombe is 1/10 in this game but a +5 on the night.

I feel the former banker in me coming out like the Hulk, so I just have to say, a 50-year mortgage is among the most stupid ideas I've ever heard.

Now back to basketball.

Was doing some research for an upcoming article, and I came across a line that, while perfectly accurate in 2019, made me chuckle in 2025.

My, how times have changed.

The Sixers have announced a 2001-era capsule collection in collaboration with Mitchell & Ness, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the 2000-01 Eastern Conference Champions, which goes on sale tomorrow at 10 a.m.

Good for them; they went on a 24-11 run in the 4th and still lost by double digits.

Their superstar, who leads the NBA in minutes per game, played 11 minutes of a final quarter that began with them down 20 pointsβ€”on a road back-to-back as well.

But sure, good moral victory.

There is precisely zero reason for Tyrese Maxey and Kelly Oubre to still be in this game.

I’ve counted no less than four Sixers tonight who have been pelted with passes not ready for the ball.

The Sixers look very much like a team playing a back-to-back whose starters average 40-plus minutes a night…
