Sixers Player Grades: Sixers Spoil Knicks Ring Night, 106-100
Player Grades
Tyrese Maxey
40 min, 28 pts (9-19 FG, 2-9 3P, 8-9 FT), 4 reb, 5 ast, 2 TO, 3 stl, 3 blk, +11
He set the tone in transition, got to the line at will, and made plays on both ends. Philly’s best player tonight by a wide margin.
Jaylen Brown
35 min, 19 pts (7-14 FG, 2-4 3P, 3-4 FT), 8 reb, 6 ast, 2 TO, 1 stl, 1 blk, +17
He was a huge piece in his Sixers debut. He scored efficiently, attacked mismatches, and played a real connective role as a playmaker.
VJ Edgecombe
35 min, 9 pts (4-10 FG, 0-3 3P, 1-2 FT), 4 reb, 1 ast, 1 TO, 1 stl, 0
Did not have a particularly good night on offense but he did play well on defense.
LeBron James
34 min, 14 pts (5-13 FG, 0-3 3P, 4-6 FT), 9 reb, 7 ast, 1 TO, 1 stl, 1 blk, -2
Lebron kept the offense flowing and rarely turned the ball over. The scoring wasn’t sharp, but his control of the game mattered.
Joel Embiid
33 min, 13 pts (4-15 FG, 2-7 3P, 3-4 FT), 11 reb, 6 ast, 4 TO, 2 stl, 3 blk, +13
He struggled to find his shot and was careless with the ball at times. His rim protection gave the Sixers the defensive edge anyway.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope
26 min, 10 pts (3-8 FG, 2-6 3P, 2-2 FT), 4 reb, 1 ast, 0 TO, 1 blk, +3
Steady veteran minutes, with minimal mistakes and a couple of timely makes in the 4th quarter.
Anfernee Simons
25 min, 13 pts (5-10 FG, 3-8 3P, 0-0 FT), 2 reb, 0 ast, 0 TO, -5
He gave the second unit real spacing and didn’t force anything. An efficient, well-timed scoring punch especially in the 3rd quarter to give the Sixers a small lead.
Adem Bona
10 min, 0 pts (0-0 FG, 0-0 3P, 0-0 FT), 3 reb, 1 ast, 0 TO, 1 blk, -1
He didn’t to do too much and struggled a bit on both defense and offense tonight, the team was better with him on the floor.
Jabari Walker
3 min, 0 pts (0-0 FG, 0-0 3P, 0-0 FT), 0 reb, 1 ast, 0 TO, -6
He only played a few minutes and made one nice pass. Too small a sample to grade.
