The Philadelphia 76ers suffered a lopsided 123-103 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday at Xfinity Mobile Arena. The 76ers suffered their second loss in four games as they battled their weak lineup.
This was Jared McCann's first game in Philadelphia since he was shipped to Oklahoma City at the trade deadline. He had another strong performance off the bench, scoring 13 points on 5-of-11 shooting, including three three-pointers.
After the game, he and Edgecombe had a brief chat on the court and were all smiles.
Edgecombe, 20, had nothing on during the media conference good words To say about your ex-partner.
"I'm happy for him. We still talk here and there. I'm happy to see him having fun and socializing with his teammates and things like that. If you don't connect with Jared, there might be something wrong with you," Edgecombe said in a video posted by Sixers Wire's Ky Carlin.
"I'm really excited for him. He made some shots tonight. He warmed up quickly. It's good to see him out there having fun."

Edgecombe led the 76ers with a game-high 35 points on 14 of 28 shooting, including 7 of 15 from long range. He added six rebounds and four assists.
The Sixers played without four of their five starters due to injuries: Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Kelly Oubre Jr. and Paul George.
Fans envisioned a speedy trio of Maxey, Edgecombe and McCann for the 76ers. However, general manager Daryl Morey did not see it that way and traded McCann to the Thunder for four draft picks.
Since the surprise move has upset the 76ers, McCain is enjoying a resurgence with the defending champions.
