Tidjane Salaün
Tidjane Salaün had a brief stint on the floor, logging just six minutes. However, the impact was minimal—he didn’t score a single point and only managed to grab two rebounds. Need to step it up next time!
Guerschon Yabusele
Guerschon Yabusele did his best to anchor the 76ers in the paint, contributing 8 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists. Unfortunately, he found himself a bit isolated inside, which made things tough for him.
Alex Sarr
Making an impression, Alex Sarr squared up against Isaiah Hartenstein and did not disappoint. He put up 10 points and snagged 6 rebounds while shooting an efficient 4 of 7 from the field. Strong showing for the rookie!
Bilal Coulibaly
Bilal Coulibaly had a solid night with 10 points and 5 rebounds, but the highlight of the evening was undoubtedly his incredible block—an absolute jaw-dropper that left everyone buzzing about his defensive prowess.
