Daily News | Inside Sixers: Memphis reunions, Tyrese Maxey’s progress, and the best locker room tidbits from the week
HOUSTON — Ja Morant’s father, Tee, sauntered over to FedEx Forum’s visitors’ tunnel a few minutes before Friday’s tipoff, hoping to catch Sixers players and staff as they entered the court for pregame warm-ups.
Yet Friday also marked a return for Sixers assistant Dave Joerger, who was the Grizzles’ head coach from 2103-16 and an assistant the six seasons before that. It was also Joerger’s first time back coaching at FedEx Forum since undergoing cancer treatment last year. After a quick visit with Melton about two hours before tipoff, Grizzlies general manager Zach Kleiman spent several minutes chatting with Joerger.
“Little too much up top,” Beckner encouraged Tucker as he fired from the left corner. “Feel the ball. Come on!”Montrezl Harrell’s attire of choice for last Monday’s game against Atlanta was a t-shirt featuring Brittney Griner.
