Philadelphia’s own Meek Mill was sitting courtside Monday to watch Joel Embiid return to the court — and to watch Devin Booker and the Phoenix Suns. And Mill got involved — he tripped referee Brent Barnaky running up the court.

You can see the two holding hands toward the end of the video. It’s clear the Suns guard isn’t single just yet, nor is Jenner. Reports indicated she broke it off with Book because he wasn’t taking the relationship serious enough, but it appears both of them weren’t done with each other and could be giving it another go. The party was also full of countless celebrities and athletes. Meek Mill was joined on stage during his performance by James Harden, Joel Embiid, and PJ Tucker, while the likes of Donovan Mitchell, Draymond Green, and Jayson Tatum were also in attendance. You can’t forget Drake, either, who performed as well.

Michael Rubin’s assets are growing. The 76ers co-owner is part of a group that will purchase vintage team jersey maker Mitchell & Ness. Rubin, the founder and chief executive of Fanatics, will team up with rappers Meek Mill, Jay-Z and Lil Baby along with sports-marketing businessman Maverick Carter and Tik Tok’s D’Amelio family to purchase Mitchell and Ness. Multiple reports have the purchase for $250 million.

According to sources, Harden and his camp have maintained a close relationship with Morey. In addition, Sixers co-owner Michael Rubin is also tight with Harden and his friends. Harden’s close friend and rapper Lil Baby was even on hand when Rubin, Meek Mill and the Sixers hosted 25 youths from the Philadelphia area before their Dec. 15 game against the Miami Heat. Together, the group provided a Wells Fargo Center experience through the REFORM Alliance for young people who have been adversely affected by criminal justice.

Hours before the Philadelphia 76ers, a team he co-owns, played a home game against the Miami Heat on Dec. 15, Michael Rubin put the business aside, and focused on something more significant. “I think of business all the time, but I didn’t running up and down that court,” Rubin said. “That’s actually amazing to me. I didn’t look at my phone for more than an hour. I didn’t think about work.” The reason: Rubin needed to pay attention to families impacted by an unfair criminal justice system. He needed to show his friend, hip-hop star Meek Mill, that he remains engaged in REFORM Alliance, an organization created to push for a change in the criminal justice system.

REFORM claims to have raised more since then but would not provide CNBC with an exact figure. But since establishing REFORM, Rubin said 13 bills were passed in eight states, including California, where probation is now capped at two years for most violations. He added legislation in Pennsylvania is now at the state senate level. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, “community supervision,” -- those on probation or parole -- dropped from more than 4.1 million individuals supervised to roughly 3.8 million during 2020. And for probation only, down 8.3% the largest annual decline for those on probation since in 1980.

Rubin said REFORM has “made good progress” in helping to repair a “broken” system. “We don’t want people to do something minor like smoking weed to go back to prison,” he added. “It’s a waste of taxpayers’ money, and we’re ruining families and hurting people.”

Philadelphia 76ers partner Michael Rubin and rapper Meek Mill’s Reform Alliance treated 26 kids to a VIP experience at the team’s game on Wednesday — which included meeting TikTok stars Charlie and Dixie D’Amelio. The event was part of an initiative for Rubin and Meek’s Reform Alliance — which they founded with Jay Z, Robert Kraft and Clara Wu Tsai, among others, in 2019.

Sources said the kids all received special uniforms to play in a basketball game on the homecourt, with celebs and VIPs. The teams included Meek, Rubin, rapper Lil Baby, and the D’Amelio sisters, as well as their parents, Marc and Heidi D’Amelio. Former basketball pros World B. Free and Elton Brand served as coaches, we hear, and 76ers managing partner Josh Harris also participated in the game.
