When Joel Embiid addressed the media before the start of training camp, the seven-time All-Star stated that he believes Tyrese Maxey has another level to reach as a player. He confidently followed up by saying that he thinks Maxey will take the next step as a primary producer on the Philadelphia 76ers.

Paul George's scoring touch was on display in his preseason debut with the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night. George made 8 of 15 shots and scored a team-high 23 points in a 121-111 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
