If McCain can get right and Edgecombe can acclimate to the pro schedule and Maxey isn’t hurt, it could be a fun season even though they won’t make the playoffs
New: Focused on Jared McCain’s performance in today’s instant observations, because his strong showing was clearly the headliner for me in this one.
On McCain’s resurgent performance, plus notes on Tyrese Maxey, Andre Drummond, VJ Edgecombe and more: www.phillyvoice.com/sixers-vs-he...

Instant observations: Jared McCain finally looks like himself again in Sixers' Sunday loss
The Sixers are 9-7 after finding themselves unable to complete a comeback on Sunday afternoon. Jared McCain's season-best outing was the highlight of the day.
