Maxey was 10-31 last night. This is how it’s going to be every time Joel sits out. How many games is Embiid going to miss this year? 25? 30? Philadelphia has 15 back-to-back games this year, Google says.

And I am also reading that it is planned for George to sit out one game of each back-to-back, just like Embiid.

Too many other things going on -- I missed the Sixers getting their 1st win of the season on 10/27.

Maxey is out for a while. Too bad.


Yeah, I was watching some of the Clippers game, and he didn't look good after the injury. I had a suspicion he'd be out for a bit. So the team was without Embiid and George to start. George finally was ready to play this week, but now Maxey is out and Embiid is still out (and even if ready, has 2 more games of a suspension). Not an auspicious start to the season for the Sixers.

They looked bad.

Agreed. But they're missing 2 of their big 3. It's not fun, as a fan. But I look at some fo the other top teams in the East, who aren't missing stars, and they are not exactly setting the world on fire. So, I just chuckle and remember that it's a long season.

I'm glad they reached this decision, but why go through all the time and expense, and disruption they caused, and to reach an agreement with the city government, and then back away. smh

This thread has been awfully quiet this year. Sigh. What do people see as the best path forward for the Sixers? With Embiid hobbled, do they shelve him for the year and tank to try and keep their first round pick?

Can this team contend as constructed? Safe to say the George move blew up on them in spectacular fashion. And who knows whether Embiid can come back and play at a high level again.

It's time for Morey to earn his money.
