A long and uneventful Sixers rotation from a nightmarish game. Sixers were completely eviscerated by the Orlando Magic. Story to come.

Adem Bona (right ankle sprain) will be re-evaluated at some point after tonight’s game, for which he is ruled out. But he’s going through a pregame workout, which is a positive sign in addition to what he told me yesterday.

Here at the Sixers’ Stars & Stripes Day of Service, where Sixers staffers, head coach Nick Nurse and some players are packing care kits for veterans and active military members unable to spend Thanksgiving at home. There are also “letter writing stations” to express gratitude.

Asked Tyrese Maxey today about why he’s leaned more into his floater this year, the work he’s put into scoring with his left hand and how being able to go left benefits him as a scorer.

A nice and easy question from @ginamizell.bsky.social to Andre Drummond about his dog, Bob Marley, led to a sad revelation that Jared McCain’s dog recently passed away. Drummond was not aware.
“That’s sad, man. What a bummer, what the fuck?”

Jared McCain is sharing the podium with Andre Drummond and Bob Marley. He feels this was “definitely” the best he’s felt in terms of mobility during the season and that he’s felt better with each game. Felt especially good about his burst/first step.

Jared McCain looked good and comfortable logging 26 minutes today, and there was not much to write home about otherwise. Story on McCain's resurgence and other notes coming.

A moment from practice today that was briefly confusing — Nick Nurse asking “is that true?” after I mentioned Jared McCain being cleared for back-to-backs and then being reminded that McCain played on Wednesday and Thursday.
Nurse on McCain’s role: “Play hard, shoot the ball.”

Tyrese Maxey scores 54 points in 46 minutes in Milwaukee the night after playing 40 minutes in Philadelphia as the Sixers beat the Bucks. True superstar shit from Maxey. Paul George was also great. Dominick Barlow at the five a whole lot tonight, it worked out fine. Story coming.

Sixers rode a Maxey-Edgecombe-Grimes-Walker-Drummond lineup in the fourth quarter, and it was great. But a 44-26 third quarter in favor of the Raptors sunk the Sixers to 8-6. Story to come.

Tried to post this here pregame and it didn’t go through. Here’s Nick Nurse on his adjustment to starting different units in each half, because if I ever see a chance to ask niche rotation questions I am going to t it:

The Sixers used their shortest rotation in terms of number of substitutions that I can remember charting tonight. Fun game here! Story to come.

Jared McCain said he’s been cleared to use “Incrediwear” with has a sleeve over the top instead of a knee brace. Also checked in on his thumb…

A major missed opportunity for the Sixers, who tonight learned the hard way just how well-coached and tenacious this Pistons team is. The Sixers finally figured some stuff out in the third quarter and then only scored 15 points in the fourth. Another brutal close. Story coming.

Apologies, McCain had the tights *over* the Incrediwear.
