I’ve had a couple post-work beers but does that Flyers score say 7-0?

The big takeaway from day 2 of Sixers training camp? They're impressed with their depth. Video report from Camden:

Dean Wade on VJ Edgecombe: "I love the way he plays. I really do. Any time I get out there on his team, I love it. He's flying around in transition, he's making the right cuts, he's sacrificing shots for people. He plays the right way and it's so fun to be on his team."

Tyrese Maxey on Joel Embiid: "He looks great. He looks amazing. He looks happy. I think that's great. When you're healthy and you're happy, you're at peace with your life and basketball, that's when you're at your best. So he's been great. He's....he's Joel."

Tyrese Maxey on Joel Embiid: "He looks great. He looks amazing. He looks happy. I think that's great. When you're healthy and you're happy, you're at peace with your life and basketball, that's when you're at your best. So he's been great. He's....he's Joel."

How down to the studs do the Sixers go when building up their defense in training camp? According to Tyrese Maxey, one of the things they're working on right now is the "verbiage of switching". "When we got this many new guys, it's the small things like that that you mess up."

Stones Painter.

33-year-old All-Star shortstop couldn't find the plate discipline to hang in against a rookie reliever and give the guys who just hit back-to-back homers chances before the bottom of the 9th.

If that is the last at-bat of Trea Turner's season, it was a fitting end.

@joeedinger.bsky.social Gus gave his groin.

Could really go for 3 grand slams in top of the ninth. Would really take the edge off.

For better and for worse, he is the showman.

Hope Rob Thomson is somewhere enjoying a drink and laughing about how Dombrowski hung him out to dry over this group of people.

Tyrese Maxey, who could be seen after camp yesterday sitting outside the training complex as if he needed a ride, had a long laugh when a reporter brought up "a teammate" leaving by helicopter. Maxey said, "One of us left on the helicopter, the other was sitting on the curb."

Nurse on the plan for Tacko Fall: "Yeah, just look at him right now and see what happens. He'd be in the same category as 5-6 of the other guys. We still have a two-way spot that's open. There's some guys fighting for that, possibly he'd be one of those guys."

Nurse on if anything has clicked for the group quicker than he expected: "'Surprised' is a little too strong, but we haven't really put any offense in yet. A little bit, a little bit of up-the-floor secondary break stuff. But you can see them finding some very easy things with each other."

Nick Nurse on VJ Edgecombe: "He continues to make critical plays. We're live-scrimmaging, keeping score. He's flying in, making that huge offensive rebound to keep a possession alive. Knocking down the big shot late in those games to push you out and almost seal it or put the game away."

Tacko Fall had a "hip thing" that took him out about halfway through today's camp session and Adem Bona is still nursing a sprained foot. Other than that, the Sixers had everyone available for today's camp session.

Nick Nurse said at today's camp session that the hope is to get the starters out on the floor together in preseason.

You were at work or watching the Phillies....or both. Meanwhile, the Sixers had their first day of training camp. I got ya covered. Video report from the first practice of the season:

Edgecombe gave a window into what maturity looks like for him in year 2:

Mentioned to VJ Edgecombe that LeBron said on his podcast that he heard Edgecombe was one of the leading voices on the team as a rookie, so asked him how his mindset as a vocal leader changes from year 1 to year 2:

Paraphrasing but VJ Edgecombe was essentially asked about whether there are added stakes just by playing with LeBron James. Here was his answer:

Footage from day 1 of Sixers training camp

I’ll have something new and exciting to share with you guys in the coming days. For now, a video report from Sixers Media Day:

"I was getting pedicure when I got the call," VJ Edgecombe says when he found out about the Jaylen Brown trade. Says it was bittersweet. He and Paul George remain close.

VJ Edgecombe walked in on Jaylen Brown's press conference and Brown stopped mid-answer to say "VJ get your ass out of here".

Embiid, asked a question, looks up to the ceiling with a smile and says, "I'm trying to figure out if I want to troll or not."

"Nothing. I gained a lot of weight. But I feel good," Embiid says with a laugh when asked about what he did during the offseason to get in a rhythm with his body.

"I want to play as much as possible. We have a plan, we're going to execute it." - Embiid
