After Brissett suited up with the Sixers for the first time in his career, his former teammate Jayson Tatum reacted to hearing the news that Brissett was getting an opportunity with Boston’s Atlantic Division rival.

Kelly Oubre Jr. led the way for the Sixers with 27 points, while Justin Edwards 14 in his return from a sprained ankle. Tyrese Maxey and Paul George both missed Thursday's game with ailments.

So, regarding whether Jayson Tatum is playing tonight vs. the Nets, the Celtics have little incentive to make him available if he isn't 100 percent with their playoff seeding effectively determined.

Remember Al Horford? Six offseasons after shedding his enormous salary, one has to wonder if the Sixers can do the same with Paul George’s deal.

The nightmarish 2024-25 season continues for the Philadelphia 76ers. Just weeks after Joel Embiid was ruled out for the remainder of the season after playing in only 19 games, now, they will be without their 9-time All-Star for the rest of the season.
