PHILADELPHIA–The Philadelphia 76ers made their move at the deadline as they acquired Jalen McDaniels in a four-team deal that sent Matisse Thybulle to the Portland Trail Blazers. The Sixers are hoping that McDaniels can give the Sixers a big lift on both ends of the floor.
McDaniels was made available for Friday’s contest with the New York Knicks after the trade was completed, but he ended up not playing. Instead, he watched his new team knock off the Knicks 119-108 after Philadelphia trailed by as many as 13.
Afterward, McDaniels’ new teammates all gave their thoughts on the new addition to the team.
