Furkan Aldemir Hath Arrived

Furkan Aldemir finally arrived in Philadelphia last night — with his wife and his cat, Firouze (pretty sure I’m the only one who asked) — and joined the Sixers for his first practice today. Aldemir will wear number 19 and be available to play tonight if they decide to throw him out there.
Aldemir’s addition to the team makes him the fifth international player officially on the roster, the most in team history. With that, Brett Brown presumably received a text from Gregg Popovich that just read: “You’re doing it right.”
When he's not writing about sports here or ranting about them on Twitter, Jim is probably watching X-Files on Netflix or drinking a beer somewhere. Jim has nothing against hockey, it's just not his style. He once met Duce Staley at a Sixers game.
