Embiid and George both participated in “most of practice today”

George played some 3 on 3, per the Sixers

Kyle Neubeck @kyleneubeck.bsky.social · 3h

McCain sighting! He says “the universe keeps throwing haymakers at me” but he’s about 2 weeks away from getting the brace you see on his hand off. From there, he’ll move to a playing brace

On the show:

—Embiid in 1v1s and perhaps the preseason finale?!

An eight-point fourth quarter for the Sixers, that's hard to do!

But some good stuff in the more meaningful minutes — 17-point quarter for Maxey, good Barlow minutes, and the emergence of sniper Drummond
