Arizona Marvelous Ideas: Sonoran Hot Reads: T.J. McConnell scores career-high 17 points for Sixers against Nets

Seems like T.J. is doing normal T.J. things

With Ish Smith hurt, T.J. McConnell returned to the Philadelphia 76ers' starting lineup on Saturday night, and the former Arizona Wildcat certainly made the most of it. He made crucial plays late in the game against the Nets, leading the Sixers to a rare win. McConnell tied a career-high with 17 points, and his presence was certainly felt by Jahlil Okafor:
