The Philadelphia 76ers have had a difficult start to the season, coming out of Wednesday night’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers with a 1-6 record, which has put them in the fight for the last spot in the Eastern Conference, sharing a spot with the Milwaukee Bucks.

One of the biggest reasons for concern so far has been the injuries that have plagued the team, as both Paul George and Joel Embiid have already been sidelined, and the latter of the two will return next week in a game against the New York Times. York Knicks.

In his absence, Tyrese Maxey has had to do everything he can to put the team on his back, averaging 27 points on 40 percent shooting, and his scoring prowess earned him the eighth-highest points per game in the NBA.

Everything was going well for the Sixers when they got Paul George back earlier in the week, allowing the aforementioned Maxey to share more of the ball and free himself from some of their defenders.

This was the case until Wednesday night’s game at the Intuit Dome, when Philadelphia’s All-Star guard left the game after 32 points due to a hamstring injury.

After the game, Sixers head coach Nick Nurse explained that the decision to remove the 24-year-old was purely a “precautionary measure”, it was revealed Thursday that he will miss some time due to the injury.

@wcgoldberg: “At this rate, it will be at least four weeks into the season before we see Embiid, George and Maxey on the court together. Probably more.”

@APH00PS: “The 76ers could be cooked and we’re not even 3 weeks into the season”

@whristan1: “That team is not cursed by the basketball gods”

@JWeb777: “At this rate, the Sixers will be done with Cooper Flagg.”

@EmpireJeff_: “Philadelphia had no luck getting out the door.”

The Sixers will continue their preparation for Friday night’s game against Lebron James and the Los Angeles Lakers as they look to get their second win of the season.
