Sixers’ Head Coach Nick Nurse gave us a clue on Friday about who would be in the lineup for Saturday’s preseason tilt in Boston vs. the defending champ Celtics. Paul George made his Sixers’ preseason debut and did not disappoint, flashing some cross-over step back brilliance vs. the Timberwolves.
Tyrese Maxey also dazzled, reminding fans he has his sights firmly set on an ALL-NBA berth and championship ring. We’ve yet to see Joel Embiid thus far, but Saturday should be a chance for the team’s depth options to prove themselves and earn Nurse’s rotation level trust.
