The Philadelphia 76ers and Atlanta Hawks returned to the NBA 2025-26 after the All-Star break with a clash at Xfinity Mobile Arena on Thursday.

But the visitors sealed a 117-107 win, with Jalen Johnson and CJ McCollum scoring 32 and 23 points, respectively. Tyrese Maxey dropped 28 points, and Rising Stars MVP VJ Edgecombe added 20 for the Sixers, who were without Joel Embiid, who missed the game due to soreness in his right shin.
