Philadelphia — The 76ers beat the Orlando Magic 109-97 on Wednesday in the NBA Play-In Tournament to clinch the No. 7 seed. Joel Embiid, six days after an appendectomy in Houston, attended the pregame film session and greeted teammates, offering an emotional lift though he remained unavailable to play. Coach Nick Nurse said Embiid was sitting and smiling in his usual chair, and the team has offered no timetable on his recovery. Tyrese Maxey scored 31 points, and rookie VJ Edgecombe added 19 points and 11 rebounds in his playoff debut, despite four turnovers and a 1-for-5 mark from three. The game featured early tempers — Paolo Banchero and Kelly Oubre Jr. drew technicals — and five technical fouls were issued overall. Andre Drummond hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 41.2 seconds left, and the Sixers now turn their attention to the Boston Celtics in the next round.
