It was just a scrimmage. Sure, that’s all. Sorta in the same way that Ben Franklin was just a bald, fat guy with a kite. Saturday afternoon’s proceedings represented the first public appearance of the Sixers as we now know…
Gordie Jones analyzes the Philadelphia 76ers' first open scrimmage, highlighting the public debut of a new-look lineup featuring LeBron James and Jaylen Brown alongside Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and VJ Edgecombe. James called the scrimmage a positive first step, while Jones notes that the event offered an early preview of the team's spacing and offensive versatility ahead of the regular season.

Jones also highlights strong performances from sophomore guard Edgecombe, reserve center Ariel Hukporti, and Brown, who scored 12 points in a rapid stretch with the second unit.
