Saric eager to start NBA career, even in preseason

James will miss his third game of the season but it'll be the first that isn’t part of a back-to-back set.

Embiid, who remains listed as questionable to play Thursday against the Toronto Raptors because of plantar fascia management, entered the night shooting 37% from the floor.

Walker, a terrific rebounder despite his 6-foot-7 frame, is filling in as the Sixers' backup center while Adem Bona, Dominick Barlow, and Ariel Hukporti are all sidelined.

Paul George went off for 36 points in his first game back in Philly. But Stephen A. Smith and others were fixated on the former teammates as well as the Sixers' offense.

George, who had a tumultuous two-year run in Philly with injuries and a 25-game suspension, helped lead Boston to a decisive win over his former team with a game-high 36 points.

Brown totaled 13 points and four turnovers in the Sixers' 123-101 loss to Boston Tuesday, on the heels of LeBron James' poor performance in his first return to Cleveland as a Sixer last week.

Foul trouble made it a tough night for Brown to get going against the Celtics. He also downplayed his pregame interaction with Jayson Tatum.

Somehow, the numbers were both ugly and not nearly ugly enough. The Sixers shot just 11 of 37 from three-point range, and that only thanks to a 2-for-6 showing from the bench mob.

Brown, whose slow night included 13 points and four fouls, is expected to play in Boston for the first time as a visitor on Jan. 21.

Harper’s Haddonfield farmhouse is on the market for $4.5 million, while Covington’s Cherry Hill home is listed for $2.9 million.

George, who is on his fifth NBA team, said if he had been in Philadelphia “eight, nine, 10 years, different story.”

The former Sixers coach is calling NBA games this season on NBC, but has been in the headlines over comments he made about Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Brown has contributed to the Sixers' 9-2 start thanks to his on-ball defense and by reducing his turnover rate to a career best figure.

A pass from LeBron James to Tyrese Maxey and a film session to discuss passing too much were among highlights of the Sixers' road schedule.

Brown said there's "nothing to talk about" with his former teammate Tatum ahead of their first regular-season matchup on Tuesday.

James recovered from his worst game of the season against the Cavaliers on Friday to help ease a slow start to Sunday's game in Chicago. Jaylen Brown added 29, while Tyrese Maxey scored 27.

James, who began his historic career with his hometown Cavaliers and won the 2016 NBA title in his return to the franchise, struggled in his first game back since joining the Sixers over the summer.

And when Embiid said “nothing is going in,” he meant it literally on Friday. His 0-for-9 performance from the field marked just his second career game without a field goal.

November thunderstorms are unusual, occurring about once every two years in Philly.

“A large cargo ship has struck the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge today,” said State Rep. Ed Neilson.

Starbucks workers have been organizing for years and are seeking their first union contract.

While investigators did not assign blame, their documents offer new insight into the flawed response surrounding a blast that killed three people and injured 20 others just before last Christmas.

The gunman has been identified as a doctor locked in a dispute with building management over mold and moisture problems in his penthouse.
