The Philadelphia 76ers Injuries
The loss of Joel Embiid put a full stop on the Philadelphia 76ers season. The team was unable to keep its position in the top six and fell to the play-in. It is paramount that he makes a return for the playoffs. Without him or Tyrese Maxey, the Philadelphia 76ers do not have a chance of making it out of the play-in let alone reaching the finals.
