Adem Bona receives advice from 2 different Sixers on fouling issues Big man Adem Bona receives advice from two different members of the Philadelphia 76ers for his fouling issues.

Adem Bona - Swats three shots Bona produced six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 FT), six rebounds and three blocks in 15 minutes of Friday's 128-98 preseason loss to the Magic.
Impact With Joel Embiid (knee) out once again, Bona drew another start over Andre Drummond. Bona was a fantasy gem down the stretch of the 2024-25 regular season, and he appears to be the heavy favorite for the backup center role. And whenever Embiid is unable to play this season, Bona's upside could soar.

Dominick Barlow - Nearly double-doubles Barlow recorded 12 points (4-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds and one steal in 29 minutes of Friday's 128-98 preseason loss to the Magic.
Impact Barlow drew another start Friday and continues to make a strong impression on the 76ers. The team is without several key contributors due to injuries and maintenance, but even though Barlow is on a two-way contract, he might play his way into the rotation for Opening Night at this point.

Tyus Jones - Quiet in start Jones finished with three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two assists and one rebound in 19 minutes of Friday's 128-98 preseason win over the 76ers.
Impact Jones made his second straight start of the preseason with Jalen Suggs (knee) on the shelf. Suggs is iffy for Opening Night at this point, but Jones isn't a lock to start if Suggs is unavailable -- Anthony Black made a strong impression off the bench Friday with 12 points and five assists in 21 minutes.

Anthony Black - Scores 12 off bench Black logged 12 points (3-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five assists, two rebounds and one block in 21 minutes of Friday's 128-98 preseason win over the 76ers.
Impact Jalen Suggs (knee) missed another game and remains without a clear timetable. Tyus Jones started at point guard, but he was pretty quiet in his 19-minute stint. Black may be the third-string point guard on paper when everybody is healthy, but if Friday was any indication, he's going to push for more minutes.
