Jalen Hurts is at Wells Fargo Center to cheer for the Philadelphia Eagles against the LA Lakers. The reigning NFL MVP received loud cheers from Philly fans when he was shown on the big screen. Hurts and the Eagles hold a 10-1 record including spectacular wins over the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills. Most in the arena were likely hoping the quarterback’s winning ways would rub off on the 76ers against LeBron James and the Lakers.
Hurts looked relaxed and was having a good time while he was surrounded by young Sixers fans. He wore a $4,045 maroon and white AMIRI bomber jacket with a huge No. 23 on his left shoulder. Dominating the back is an extra menacing orange tiger that looks like it’s ready to pounce.

The laid-back vibe Jalen Hurts is showing isn’t fooling his NFL opponents. When on the field, he is as feisty as the tiger on his AMIRI jacket. The Eagles’ three-game winning streak against the Dallas Cowboys, Chiefs and Bills showed Hurts at his snarling best.
With the quarterback in the house, the Philadelphia 76ers started like a house on fire. Joel Embiid and his teammates raced to a decisive 32-19 lead after the first 12 minutes of the game. “The Process” had 12 points, three rebounds and three steals. Tyrese Maxey had a quick start as well, finishing with 10 points, three assists and one rebound. LeBron James’ sluggish start contributed to the LA Lakers’ early struggle.
