Did Markelle Fultz have his best game as a Sixer?
It was a big night for him as well as Ben Simmons. Simmons was one assist shy of a triple-double with 21 points, 12 rebounds, and nine assists in a 113-92 win over the Atlanta Hawks.
But Fultz, who finished with 16 points and seven rebounds, had some really nice plays last night:

Granted it was the Hawks, but Fultz has shown some improvement since last year. It might be small, but he definitely look a big step in the right direction last night. We’ll see how he does tonight.
The team has their second game of a back-to-back up in Toronto as they’ll visit Kawhi Leonard and the Raptors. Tip-off is at 7:30 PM on NBC Sports Philadelphia +.
Off the court, the team has picked up the options on Simmons, Fultz, and Dario Saric.
We also might have seen the team’s new City edition jerseys:
Apparently someone on Instagram is saying that these are the Sixers’ “City” uniforms this year…
