ICYMI: Joel Embiid did basketball things today in Wilmington.

“I knew this would be the first time you guys [the media] or the public would have seen him for a long time. … and then he went out there and did his thing.”

Joel Embiid’s participation in Sixers’ scrimmage a sign of ‘good progression’
It was Embiid's first public "live" action since February, when his 2024-25 season was derailed by ongoing knee issues.

Kennedy Chandler has been tasked with ball-pressuring Tyrese Maxey during preseason practices. He has peppered Kyle Lowry for advice on how to succeed as a small guard.

And he has relished his opportunity to taste the sport’s highest level again👇🏻

Kennedy Chandler has been a surprising contributor during the Sixers’ preseason

Here’s me + @ginamizell.bsky.social asking Andre Drummond about his two made threes in tonight’s game and his continued work on his shot.

“It’s something that I’ve added to my game… Just shooting that same shot at a consistent rate and being able to hit them without even thinking about it.”

Kennedy Chandler now up to 16 points and 5 assists. Looks like he's got some enthusiastic family/friends under the basket, as well. He's gotten a ton of PG minutes tonight with Maxey only playing the first, and Edgecombe, Grimes, McCain (and even Lowry) all out.

Kennedy Chandler is starting the second half for the Sixers, which means Tyrese Maxey's night is done after his excellent first quarter. Oubre also is not out there.

Oubre, meanwhile, with an early 10-5-2 line.

Franz Wagner has been getting physical with Kelly Oubre in the second quarter. Got called for an offensive foul for pulling on his jersey going down the court a little bit ago, and just got called for a flagrant for winding up and fouling Oubre hard at the rim.

Magic 34, Sixers 32 at the end of the first. Maxey with 17 points. Sixers have a 14-9 rebounding edge.

Tyrese Maxey, still good at getting to the rim.

Really active first quarter for Dominick Barlow, who already has five rebounds. Continues to get the starting nod with Trendon Watford still nursing a hamstring injury.

Nick Nurse keeping Bona in the game, for now.

Adem Bona picks up two fouls in less than two minutes. That remains one thing he's got to work on.

Sixers say VJ Edgecombe (left hip soreness) miss tonight’s preseason game against Orlando. He participated in shootaround this morning, is considered day-to-day, and is expected to practice next week.

Embiid, George, Grimes, Lowry, Watford and McCain are also out tonight.

Some Sixers nuggets heading into their first home preseason game, on:

*Jabari Walker/Dominick Barlow’s opportunities

* Adem Bona’s special moment with his brothers in Abu Dhabi

*The Sixers being tough to predict in the annual GM poll

Jabari Walker and Dominick Barlow get extended look at power forward during Sixers’ preseason
Walker and Barlow are both on two-way contracts, meaning they will split time between the Sixers and the G League's Delaware Blue Coats this season.
