The Philadelphia 76ers kicked off their preseason schedule with a game against the Boston Celtics at TD Garden. Despite the absence of key players such as Joel Embiid, James Harden, De’Anthony Melton and Furkan Korkmaz, the Sixers looked to test their depth and evaluate their roster.
A standout player for the 76ers was Tyrese Maxey, who had an impressive performance with 24 points. Maxey showed off his offensive ability by scoring efficiently from the field, hitting three-pointers and making tough shots. His speed was also a factor, as the Celtics had a difficult time guarding him. Maxey also showed off his defensive abilities by making a steal and having an impact in that aspect of the game.
Tobias Harris had a solid performance, scoring 13 points and grabbing seven rebounds. The Sixers used Harris in the post, showing off his size and ability against smaller defenses. Harris’ pace and early involvement were positive signs for the team.
Patrick Beverley showed his trademark aggressiveness on defense and took advantage of offensive opportunities. He hit a couple of three-pointers, but the only downside to him was the three fouls he committed due to his aggressive nature.
Jaden Springer, a rookie for the Sixers, impressed with his all-around game. He confidently hit a 3-pointer, played active defense and managed to block Celtics star Jayson Tatum’s dunk attempt. Springer’s energy and effort on both ends of the court was remarkable.
Kelly Oubre Jr. showed off his mobility without the ball, finding open shooting opportunities and contributing on rebounds and on defense. He demonstrated skills that could earn him minutes on the team.
Overall, the Sixers had a mixed performance in their first preseason game, losing to the Celtics 114-106. However, individual players showed promise and highlighted their skills in the game. It will be interesting to see how these players continue to develop and contribute to the team as the regular season approaches.
