Sixers’ Big 3 shines as team gets right vs. depleted Wizards
For the first time in two years, the Sixers had their entire roster available. The Wizards, after playing the night before, were down CJ McCollum, Kyshawn George, Khris Middleton, Cam Whitmore and Corey Kispert, who was a late scratch with injury management … for no other reason than injury management.
