When media got into the gym there was no Seth Curry, no Tobias Harris, no Matisse Thybulle, and no Ben Simmons. All players that have been rumored in a deal for James Harden. What does it mean? WHAT DOES IT MEAN!?

When media was let into practice gym today, Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, Andre Drummond, Charles Bassey were on the floor. Georges Niang on the elliptical.

Embiid won a half-court shooting contest among the centers. Lots of smiles, guys in good spirits after canceled practice.
