We’ve got good news and bad news, Sixers fans.
The good news is that the team’s big free-agent acquisition, Paul George, will suit up and make his preseason debut Friday as they take on the Minnesota Timberwolves in Des Moines, Iowa.
The bad news: it’s not being broadcast locally, a league source tells Liberty Ballers.
The two teams are playing at Wells Fargo Arena — not to be confused with the Wells Fargo Center — which is the home of the Timberwolves’ G League team, the Wolves. It’s a cool storyline as Sixers head coach Nick Nurse will coach in his home state and in a G League arena, where he enjoyed so much success and perfected his craft.
