Daily News | P.J. Tucker, Tyrese Maxey lead undersized Sixers over Cavaliers in exhibition win
The 76ers coach had said Sunday that P.J. Tucker would play some center in the final two exhibition games.
Tucker, once again, was a selfless role player. The 12th-year veteran was noticeably winded at times. But he appeared to also always be in the right spot. Tucker set numerous screens that led to easy baskets for teammates, and was among the vocal leaders on the defensive end. The Sixers were also without reserve center Montrezl Harrell, who suffered a right intercostal strain Saturday at their annual Blue-White scrimmage at the Chase Fieldhouse in Wilmington. Harrell suffered the injury while protecting teammate Danuel House Jr. from a fall.
But, early on, the rest of his teammates had a tough time against the Sixers, who opened the game with a 3-2 matchup zone.
