The Philadelphia 76ers have yet ti see James Harden or Paul Millsap hit the floor, although Millsap could play on Tuesday due to not being on the injury report, but the Brooklyn Nets were able to get some of their new players on the floor on Monday.
The Sixers sent Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, and Andre Drummond to the Nets in the deal to get Harden and the Nets got an early return. While Simmons still hasn’t played yet for Brooklyn, the Nets were able to get Curry and Drummond on the floor.
Curry had 23 points, seven rebounds, and five assists while knocking down three triples to lead Brooklyn. Drummond had 11 points, nine rebounds, four assists, and two steals as they led the Nets to a 109-85 win over the Sacramento Kings. The win snaps an 11-game losing skid for Brooklyn.

As for Simmons, he may not have played for the Nets, but he did join the team on the bench. That is a sign for them that he could be on the mend after leaving his situation with the Sixers.

The Sixers will eventually see Harden and Millsap on the floor for them, but the former Sixers were able to make an impact for the Nets right away.
