The Sixers turned in a measured performance in the preseason finale against the Charlotte Hornets before NBA games begin for the regular season.
The side of P.J. Tucker’s knee inadvertently banged into Joel Embiid’s head as the 76ers’ All-NBA center fell to the ground late in the second quarter of Wednesday’s preseason finale against the Charlotte Hornets, a collision that resulted in Tucker taking an early visit to the home locker room.
Even before the brief injury scare, Wednesday’s action felt very much like a final preseason outing. Though the Sixers had all their rotation players available, they shot 39.3% from the floor and 11-of-35 from three-point range. But they took advantage of a Hornets team playing without star point guard LaMelo Ball , scoring 19 points off 24 Charlotte turnovers.
Harrell also missed Monday’s win in Cleveland with a rib muscle injury, but was a bench spark with 14 points on 5-of-8 shooting and six rebounds as the backup center against the Hornets.
