The Philadelphia 76ers and Orlando Magic began the NBA season with many new pieces to their respective puzzles.They are both still trying to wrestle those pieces into place.The Magic, who have a new coach in Frank Vogel and two new big men in Serge Ibaka and Bismack Biyombo, bring an 0-3 record into Tuesday nights game against the Sixers (0-2) in Philadelphia.As Vogel told the Orlando Sentinel before Saturdays road game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Magic have not been sharing the ball as much as he would like.I think our guys are trying, he said. Their hearts are in the right place. But too many guys are trying to do it themselves and not letting the game come (to them). Playing for each other -- we have to do that better or were not going to change our fortunes.While five Orlando players are averaging 10 points a game or more, the Magic are averaging just 92.3 a game while giving up 107.Ibaka, who was acquired in an offseason trade with Oklahoma City, managed just 18 points in his new teams first two games but scored 19 against Cleveland. He shoot 7 of 12 from the floor.Super encouraging, guard Elfrid Payton told the Sentinel after the game. With teams trying to go small now, hes going to be able to punish teams inside. So hes got to make a conscious effort to go in there. He shoots the ball from mid-range well, and he can knock down a 3. So its tough to tell him to stay inside. But when he has smaller guys on him, he can really punish them.Biyombo, known more for his defense, is averaging 2.5 points and six rebounds a night.Philadelphia has added center Joel Embiid to the mix this season. The third overall pick in the 2014 draft, Embiid missed his first two seasons as a result of two foot surgeries.He has averaged 17 points in 19 minutes a game over the Sixers first two outings, while on a minutes restriction. He will not play more than 20 a game for the foreseeable future.Coach Brett Brown also told reporters at practice Monday that Embiid will not travel to the teams game in Charlotte, N.C., on Wednesday.Brown added that while Jahlil Okafor will be available against the Magic on Tuesday, his plan is to hold the center out of the game, as he is recovering from knee surgery. Okafor will then play against the Hornets.Besides Embiid, the only other Sixer scoring in double figures is Sergio Rodriquez, who is filling in at point guard for the injured Jerryd Bayless (wrist). Rodriguez, who played in the NBA from 2006-10 but was overseas the last six seasons, is scoring at a 13 point-per-game clip. He is also chipping in seven assists a night.Another newcomer, forward Dario Saric, has missed 17 of 21 shots to date. Saric, who was acquired in a draft-night trade with Orlando in 2014, played in Turkey the last two years. Custom Winnipeg Jets Jerseys .

Michelle Wie is returning as a captains pick. The American and European teams were completed Sunday at St. Andrews at the Womens British Open, the final qualifying event. Pressel tied for fourth and bumped Jennifer Johnson from the last of two spots through the world ranking. Then, Mallon took Wie and Solheim Cup rookie Gerina Piller as her captains picks. "Michelle to me was a no-brainer," Mallon said of the 23-year-old from Hawaii, who hasnt won since the 2010 Canadian Womens Open. "With her experience, she can handle the big stage. Shes played well in Solheim Cups, and I just really believe in Michelle Wie." Wie is 4-3-1 in two appearances. European captain Liselotte Neumann used one of her four picks on 17-year-old Charley Hull of England, making her the youngest player in Solheim Cup history. The other picks went to Jodi Ewart Shadoff of England, Caroline Hedwall of Sweden and Giulia Sergas of Italy. "I find her energetic, fearless and I think shes just a great competitor," Neumann said about the English teen. Hull played on the Junior Solheim Cup team two years ago when Neumann was the captain. Missing from the European team was Laura Davies, who had played in every Solheim Cup since it began in 1990. Neumann said Davies told her on Saturday that she hasnt played enough and hasnt performed well enough to be on the team. It marks the first time Laura Davies will not play in the Solheim Cup since the matches began in 1990. The Solheim Cup is Aug. 16-18 at Colorado Golf Club. Stacy Lewis, an hour after winning the Womens British Open with aa birdie-birdie finish, led the U.ddddddddddddS. standings and will play on her second straight team. The other seven Americans who qualified through points were Paula Creamer, Cristie Kerr, Jessica Korda, Lexi Thompson, Angela Stanford, Brittany Lincicome and Brittany Lang. Lizette Salas made her first team as one of two players from the world ranking. The Americans have four rookies -- Piller, Salas, Thompson and Korda. Mallon took Wie over Johnson, who won this year but has no Solheim Cup experience. Wie has been a talking point since she was 13, and there were rumblings that she should have earned her way on a team, especially when a player who has won this year was left off. "Ive said all along you have to be able to handle the pick. Michelle Wie can handle being on a big stage, being a big pick," Mallon said. "I kept thinking, Do I want to leave five or six birdies a round at home on the couch? I just couldnt do that." Europe, which won two years ago in Ireland, has twice as many captains picks. The four players who earned a spot through Ladies European Tour points were Suzann Pettersen of Norway, Carlota Ciganda of Spain, Catriona Matthew of Scotland and Caroline Masson of Germany. The other four from the world ranking were Karine Icher of France, Azahara Munoz of Spain, Beatriz Recari of Spain and Anna Nordqvist of Sweden. The Americans have an 8-4 lead in the competition. Europe has never won in consecutive years, and it will be trying to win for the first time on U.S. soil. "Its obviously a big challenge," Neumann said. "I feel like this is really the team thats going to do it for us." ' ' '
