If you missed media day yesterday, we have the press conferences up on the @phlysports.bsky.social YouTube. www.youtube.com/@PHLY_Sports...

The Sixers have announced the signing of Saint Thomas, a 22-year-old forward who averaged 9.5 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.2 assists as a senior at USC last season. Thomas will be on an Exhibit 10 deal, I'm told.

Just a heads up: because of media day, our show today will be at 5 pm rather than our typical 3 pm slot. See you then.

Nick Nurse on what he's seen from VJ Edgecombe: "He athletically does things every single day that pop off the page." "He really went to work on his shooting, and he's made some great strides. Success for him this year is minutes..We need to let him play through the ups and downs."

Daryl Morey, on the Quentin Grimes negotiations: "I think we will get to a resolution in the next few days, hopefully. We're excited to bring him back. Quentin's a big part of what we're trying to do, now and into the future, if we can get things resolved."

Daryl Morey was asked when he expected Joel Embiid and Paul George to be ready: "This is straight from the doctors: we're not getting into the expectations game. The doctor's advice, what Joel said about listening to his body, that's going to be what carries the day this year."

Kelly Oubre Jr talks about his comments on Instagram from a few weeks ago when he responded to criticisms of his shooting: "It was just something to let you guys know that I'm still here. I'm not here to fit in, I'm here to stand out, and help this team the best way I possibly can."

Eric Gordon said he knew VJ Edgecombe would be an NBA player when he played with him for the national team with the Bahamas. "Superb athleticism, great kid, always looking forward to learning and being the best."

Kyle Lowry, on how he's approaching his 20th NBA season: "You live in this moment. You don't know when it's gonna be done. You don't know when it's gonna be taken from you."

Kyle Lowry, on the Sixers' young core: "I just think we have really good young guys. And they have this openness, and happiness, and spirit. Pureness. They love basketball...They're looking forward to how to get better."

Tyrese Maxey: "I think the biggest thing that this team and this organization need to work on is ourselves...right now we're just trying to find ways to get better every day, make sure the culture is right, and make sure that we're all stepping in the right direction." youtube.com/live/7ZsKAGa...

Tyrese Maxey, on last year's struggles: "I've never lost in my career. It was good for me to go through that, and become a better leader...this year we definitely plan on being better, and we've been working our tails off to be better." youtube.com/live/7ZsKAGa...

Tyrese Maxey, on Jared McCain's injury: "I feel for him, man. Coming back from his meniscus injury, he's worked his tail off to get where he is today. He's a positive person, he works extremely hard and he'll be back soon."

Paul George: "I do think I will be at a good place, hopefully sooner than later. As far as my body, I do feel better. I do feel good. A lot better than I did last year...It is great to be in a better place going into the season." George had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee on July 14.

Paul George is at the podium now.

Joel Embiid, on how he's approaching his injury this year: "Going forward, we're just going to listen to the body. I'll be honest and say that it's gonna be unpredictable at times, and that's okay...If there's something that happens in that time, it's okay. Focus on fixing it and keep going."

If this is the case, Quentin Grimes still being unsigned isn't surprising at all. He absolutley should not accept a 4 year, $39 million offer.

Jared McCain has a UCL tear in his right thumb, sources confirm. @timbontemps.bsky.social was the first to report. No determination on the next steps have been made at this time.

In order to heal a divided nation, The Eagles need to beat the Chiefs.

Andy Borregales might want to look into a backup career.

What an absolutely incredible performance by Luzardo to bounce back after the first inning. Getting 8 out of him was a minor miracle.

Enjoying this series against the Mets significantly more than the last one.

There's a lot to be excited about for this upcoming Sixers season, and it's not all dependent on Joel Embiid and Paul George being healthy. Going live in 10 minutes to break down why. youtube.com/live/90zUmym...

Ball don't lie.

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

Spent all day being told that defense is ahead of offense to start the season.

Cam Thomas took the qualifying offer from the Brooklyn Nets. Does that provide a glimpse of what might happen in the Sixers vs Quentin Grimes stalemate? I'll be breaking it down with @devongivens.bsky.social at 3. youtube.com/live/pQpgNeo...
