After defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday, the Philadelphia 76ers are gearing up to face another formidable Eastern Conference team. On Sunday night, they are scheduled to play against Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks.
The upcoming game will see some familiar faces, particularly veteran point guard Patrick Beverley. This will be his first time facing the Sixers since being traded for Cam Payne at the deadline.
Tyrese Maxey, reflecting on the upcoming matchup with his former teammate, mentioned that they still communicate frequently, even playing video games together. Maxey considers Beverley a friend in the league and values their relationship.
Beverley joined the Sixers in free agency over the summer but was traded away just two weeks ago. Despite his short time with the team, he made an impact, averaging 6.3 PPG, 3.1 RPG, and 3.1 APG.
Known for his competitive spirit, Beverley has been eagerly anticipating this game since the trade. He will be motivated to prove himself against the organization that traded him away.
This game is significant for the Sixers, who are currently shorthanded. It presents an opportunity to gain ground in the Eastern Conference standings, as the Bucks are currently two-and-a-half games ahead of them in third place.
