If Monday evening was an indication, the 76ers of Philadelphia are broken.
The 76ers fell into a massive eruption of the Chicago Bulls on Monday at the Wells Fargo Center. The Bulls, after at a given time, constituting a ridiculous advance of 50 points at the end of the competition, Beat Philadelphia 142-110. He has marked the eighth defeat of the 76ers, which is now the largest sequence of team defeats since 2017.
“We have not shown any sign of a team that will compete and, you know, we simply do not have the habits of a champion or a disputed team in the playoffs,” said Paul George Adam Aaronson of the voice of Philly.
Things collapsed for the 76ers in the third quarter, where they only managed 18 points. The Bulls collected 75 points in the first half, which is a summit of the season for them, and they did it without the great man Nikola Vučević and losing Lonzo Ball early. Josh Giddey led Chicago with 25 points and 16 rebounds, and Kevin Huerter finished with 23 points. The Bulls have managed a sequence of six consecutive defeats with the victory, which brought them to 23-35 this season.
George led Philadelphia with 19 defeat points. Kelly Oubre Jr. also added 19 points and eight rebounds. They now have a 20-37 file, which is better than three teams from the Eastern Conference.
Now, in the defense of Philadelphia, he was out of several players on Monday evening. Justin Edwards, Eric Gordon, Kyle Lowry and Jared McCain were all sidelined with various injuries. Joel Embiid was also released, and it doesn’t seem to come back so early. The star, who was held out of the End of the defeat on Saturday, was excluded from the match on Monday And met specialists for his persistent knee injury – which limited him to only 19 games this season.
We do not know if Embiid will return this season or not. He should undergo more tests on Tuesday on his left knee, which simply did not progress in his healing all year round.
“He did tests earlier in the day, which excluded him for this evening’s match,” said coach of the 76ers Nick nurse before the match, via espn. “There are still other tests again this evening today and continuing tomorrow, and that’s where we are.”
Even if Embiid returns to the field, the 76ers have a lot of work to do to shoot this season. With the way on Monday evenings took place and George’s comments, it may simply be too late.
