Graham recorded 18 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five assists, a rebound, a steal and a block across 29 minutes in Wednesday's loss against the Sixers.

EDGE Analysis

Graham struggled to get involved early on, but he improved as the game went on and delivered an efficient performance in the loss. While the 18 points aren't an eye-popping outcome by any means, the fact that he missed just three of his shots is certainly encouraging. Graham didn't shoot more than 38.2 percent from the field in any of his previous three NBA seasons.

EDGE Analysis

The sharp-shooting point guard, who lost the starting role last season to LaMelo Ball, will head to New Orleans in a sign-and-trade deal that nets him a four-year, $47 million contract. Graham averaged 14.8 points, 5.4 assists and 2.7 rebounds per game last season for the Hornets, though those numbers represented a step in the wrong direction compared to his breakout 2019-20 season. With Lonzo Ball headed to Chicago, Graham will compete with Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Tomas Satoransky and Kira Lewis for a starting backcourt spot.

EDGE Analysis

A knee issue has kept Graham out of five of the last six games -- including the last four in a row -- but his return to practice is an encouraging sign.

EDGE Analysis

There was hope that Graham would be able to return from a three-game absence, but he'll continue to miss time as he deals with soreness in his right knee.
