The Philadelphia 76ers gave a terrific effort while remaining undermanned on Friday, but they fell short to LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers 101-94 as they fell to 0-2 on this 4-game road West Coast road trip. The Sixers did get Tobias Harris back in the lineup, but remained without Joel Embiid, De'Anthony Melton, and Robert Covington as the challenges remain.

Philadelphia dropped to 12-24 on the season without Embiid and they weren't able to take advantage of the Miami Heat falling to the New Orleans Pelicans. The Sixers remain as the No. 8 seed in the East and the loss ended their 7-game winning streak over the Lakers.

Before Friday, the last time the Lakers beat the Sixers was March 3, 2020.

Tyrese Maxey had 27 points, Kelly Oubre Jr. had 19 points, six rebounds, and three assists, and Harris had 16 points and 13 rebounds. Mo Bamba had 11 points, seven rebounds, and three blocks.

Tyrese Maxey has been mostly brilliant in the second half, but his supporting cast has been brutal almost all game. Sixers appear likely to come up short yet again tonight after a brutal offensive performance

This is a hell of an effort by the Sixers. Tobias Harris still struggling offensively, but he's made two of the best defensive hustle plays I've ever seen him make. Sixers look up for a rock fight.

Im so sick of the embiidless sixers

— Romp (@OfficialRomp) March 23, 2024

10:30 pm Sixers game the Friday night of the opening weekend of the NCAA Tournament, if you are watching this game you are the sickest of sickos (compliment)

— Kyle Neubeck (@KyleNeubeck) March 23, 2024

Maxey replaces Buddy Hield with just under 10 minutes to go. If Hield does not return to this game — Nick Nurse's typical substitution patterns indicate that is a likely outcome — he'll finish this game with 13 minutes , supplanting Thursday's game for his fewest as a Sixer.

NBA Rumors: LeBron James' Son Bronny Is on Draft Boards of 'Multiple Teams'

Chris Coduto/Getty Images Bronny James' USC team has struggled this season, but that reportedly hasn't stopped the NBA interest in the son of legend LeBron James. "When I talk to people around the league, he's on the draft boards of multiple teams," Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium reported Thursday: Charania noted teams around the league believe he is "further along" on the defensive side of the ball than the offensive side, which makes performances like Wednesday's all the more important. The USC freshman finished with 11 points, six assists and five rebounds while shooting 5-of-11 from the field in one of his best offensive showings of the season in a loss to Arizona. The only game that he scored more points in was a Dec. 30 loss to Oregon State when he finished with 15 on 6-of-11 shooting from the field. Perhaps most importantly, James played a season-high 30 minutes against the Wildcats on Wedn...

What Happened to the Rivalry Between LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony? - Bleacher Report

They were two young stars with unique and special abilities on the basketball court. They had recently played in a high-attention scholastic contest against each other. They were both selected in the same draft. The LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony rivalry was supposed to be the best individual rivalry since Magic and Bird. But while the relationship between Bird and Johnson is dramatized in a new Broadway play , Anthony and James will meet for the 15th time in their careers and do so without much fanfare. James and Anthony first met in a USA developmental camp in 2001 . Much like how Johnson raved about Bird after they played together on a college All-Star team playing in an international tournament, James couldn’t stop talking about Anthony. The two squared off in a high school showcase game the following year that pitted the player regarded as the best senior in the country (Anthony) against the one that was the best junior in the country (James), a game Anthony’s team wo...

‘So You Think You Can Dance’ 18 episode 3 recap: In ‘Auditions: Day Three,’ one hopeful was like ‘the LeBron James of dance’

"So You Think You Can Dance" season 18 ended the first stage of the competition on Monday night, March 18, with the last dance hopefuls looking for a spot in the choreography round. So far the bar has been set pretty high by standout performances from dancers representing a variety of dance styles, shapes, sizes and ability levels. So who stood out among the last crop of contestants? Did the show save the best for last? "We've put 25 people through," said judge Allison Holker at the start of the show. She singled out contemporary dancer Braylon Browner and gymnast Dakayla Wilson as standouts from the first two days of auditions. Comfort Fedoke agreed that Wilson is capable of anything a professional choreographer could throw at her. Maksim Chmerkovskiy was especially impressed by contemporary dancer Easton Magliarditi . But "there's so many other things outside of dance that we're also looking at." More from GoldDerby SEE ...
