Next month I will join the Philadelphia Inquirer and serve as Senior Editor managing the NBA and 76ers beat. I’m so excited to team up with @michaelhuang55 and @InqPotosky to lead a storied sports section. We clearly have quite a few storylines to cover this summer.

Paul George returns Wednesday after serving a 25-game suspension for taking improper medication. He apologized Tuesday for his "poor decision." “This 25 games was just what I needed, I think, for my body to heal and be in a better place,” George said. inquirer.com/sixers/paul-ge…

Jared McCain’s first game back in Philly did not exactly bring closure. Every future return to this city and arena might still feel “really weird,” he acknowledged. For him, Philly and the Sixers will always be a "first love," @ginamizell writes. inquirer.com/sixers/jared-m…

@matt_dollinger @DaveSeperson @MadelynBurke @RohanNadkarni Damn, definitely the Generals. Congrats, Madelyn!

@DaveSeperson @MadelynBurke @RohanNadkarni @DeAntae Congrats Madelyn!! So well deserved. I’m happy practicing with the Washington Generals paid off 😂

Absolutely loaded notebook dump from the Sixers road trip, including *NBA players, they’re just like us! (At least while watching March Madness) *Who wants two shots of espresso before every game? *Trendon Watford’s best game? More 👇🏻

Edgecombe succeeded in this role in crunch time of last night’s win over Portland, somehow shaking free from excellent defender Toumani Camara for a game-clinching fadeaway. "I know they can't block it, because I jump high on my jump shot. I work on it all the time, though.”

The Sixers pulled off one of their best win since the trade deadline with their second-half surge against Portland. Here’s what we learned: inquirer.com/sixers/sixers-…

The Sixers, unsurprisingly, lost 131-109 to the Pistons in Detroit down four starters. Here are three things we learned, starting with how VJ Edgecombe is doing as the center of the offense so far (not great): inquirer.com/sixers/sixers-…

Tyrese Maxey will be miss at least three weeks with a tendon injury his in right pinkie finger. Maxey’s reevaluation timeline falls around March 31, when the Sixers would have only seven games remaining in the regular season. inquirer.com/sixers/tyrese-…

Tyrese Maxey’s shooting was questioned entering the 2020 NBA draft. He now holds the Sixers’ three-point record. The All-Star turned a perceived weakness into a massive weapon in his arsenal as one of the NBA’s most dangerous scorers, @ginamizell writes. inquirer.com/sixers/tyrese-…

Joel Embiid felt a sensation all the way down his right leg that he compared to an electric shock. “It was really painful to walk,” Embiid recalled. On Tuesday, he returned from a stress reaction and the latest test in a managing his health. inquirer.com/sixers/joel-em…

Tyrese Maxey’s All-Star Weekend showed he’s not merely a promising young star. Maxey has become one of the faces of the NBA, @ginamizell writes. inquirer.com/sixers/tyrese-…

This is incredibly cool — A source familiar with Bad Bunny’s performance tonight tells me that the couple in the halftime show got married for real. They invited Bad Bunny to their wedding and in turn he invited them to get married during his performance.

Yes, VJ Edgecombe’s athleticism is electric. Yes, the rookie’s shooting has been a pleasant surprise. But perhaps what the Sixers have raved most about Edgecombe so far is his beyond-his-years basketball IQ, from @ginamizell. inquirer.com/sixers/sixers-…

Checking to see whether this winter story is going to cancel my flight…

@_JarrelHarris @matt_dollinger Thanks, bro. Still doesn’t even seem real.

Congrats @matt_dollinger @DeAntae 🫡
