Each Friday, Inquirer photo editors pick the best sports images from the last seven days. This week, we’ve got the Phillies wrapping up spring training and returning to town for opening day, Jared McCain back in South Philly for the first time since being traded, and Paul George making his first appearance following his 25-game suspension. We’ve also got a weekend’s worth of March Madness action, including a very red fan and an appearance from Eagles coach Nick Sirianni.
