When the Sixers found themselves trailing the Brooklyn Nets with six minutes left on Friday night, starting guards Jared McCain and Tyrese Maxey combined to take the team’s next eight shot attempts — and they all went in.

Tyrese Maxey decided that his postgame press conference would be a joint presser with Jared McCain. Eight extremely funny minutes ensued. Will have a story on the Sixers’ backcourt in the morning. – 10:37 PM

The Sixers win a game that their new backcourt — and perhaps the two players who will define their future — decided they simply would not lose.

Nets 98, Sixers 113
Jared McCain is doing things that no rookie in NBA history has ever done.
Change of plans given the news that came out during the game, but will have more on this game later.
The Sixers are 3-12. – 9:17 PM

More on this storyline
Derek Bodner: Maxey, on McCain’s growing role on the team: “I was ecstatic that we found somebody that can give me relief, and a break, so I don’t have to have the ball in my hand so much…So we have another guy out there who can make players, can shoot the ball, can play off the ball, on the ball, it just makes the game a lot easier.” -via x.com / November 23, 2024
Though the conversation between Maxey and Embiid was a core part of the team meeting, the discussions held the rest of the roster accountable as well, according to team sources. The 76ers are the worst shooting team in the league and rank 29th in rebounding percentage. While rookie Jared McCain has been off to an impressive start, Philadelphia’s depth has not stepped up while the team deals with injuries. -via New York Times / November 19, 2024
The locker-room scene was not overly tense or uncomfortable once reporters entered following Nurse’s news conference. But Paul George, who scored 18 points on 5-of-13 shooting, declined an interview request, leaving teammates such as rookie Jared McCain and newcomer Caleb Martin to speak for the team. Joel Embiid did hold court at his locker, but when asked if the meeting was “positive,” he responded with a coy, “Oh, we had a meeting?” -via The Philadelphia Inquirer / November 19, 2024
