Reece Beekman · If there were any nerves coursing through Reece Beekman as he shared a floor with the Philadelphia 76ers’ many stars, Brooklyn’s talented first-year floor general certainly had no plans to show it on January 4, 2025. Still in patient search of that elusive first-ever NBA bucket during his eighth-career game, the 6-foot-1 guard hunts for that opportunity and then some, first going toe-to-toe with Joel Embiid along the high post before blocking Justin Edwards’ 3-point attempt. Only needing to now outmaneuver four-time All-Defensive selection Paul George for a checklist-crossing score, Beekman mixes fearlessness and flexibility, banking an acrobatic finish through, completing the and-one just moments later. The quickly-heating 76ers would ultimately get the better of their Atlantic Division foes on this night. Beekman, though, continued adding memorable footnotes to his NBA story, producing seven points (on three-of-four shooting), alongside one rebound, one steal, and one block. · State of Mint · State of Mint
