Not sure if I’ll ever get used to former Charlotte Hornet Kyle Lowry in a Sixers uniform, such incredible memories. pic.twitter.com/jlipReolDv – 1:20 PM

Giannis and BBall Paul 3s on back-to-back possessions? OK, let’s get weird. – 1:19 PM

Kyle Lowry, one of the Sixers’ first subs tonight, still wearing the bandage on his forehead to protect the gash that got mid-game stitches Thursday. He did not play Friday against Cleveland while continuing to ramp up his conditioning. – 1:19 PM

Nico Batum is the first defender on Dame…and just got beat for a driving layup on the Bucks’ first possession. – 1:12 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
And with a blow-by of Nic Batum in transition, Damian Lillard has the game’s first points. – 1:12 PM

Khris Middleton is out again today vs Sixers, missing his seventh game in a row with an ankle sprain, but Doc Rivers says he’s improving
Rivers: “Getting closer. I don’t know if it’s close enough to say next game, but he’s getting a lot closer. He’s feeling a lot better” – 12:15 PM

Austin Krell @NBAKrell
Couple notes from Nick Nurse pregame:
– De’Anthony Melton’s body responded well to first game back, but he will still come off bench
– Based on feedback from Joel Embiid, himself, and medical staff since the knee procedure, he remains “really hopeful” for a return this season – 12:02 PM
