Ah, sports are back in the air. As the real stuff may still be a week away, we got just a glimpse of what we can expect from the Sixers heading back into the season. Friday afternoon, the Sixers and Grizzlies squared off in a matinee matchup. The Sixers came out on top, defeating the Grizzlies 90-83.
Ben Simmons
Let’s just address the elephant in the room first: Ben Simmons shot three-pointers– and looked incredibly comfortable doing so.
In only 22 minutes, Simmons neared triple-double territory with nine points, nine assists, and seven rebounds. Three of those points came from a corner three, one of the two he attempted on the afternoon.
