The Sixers lost at least three games in a row on two separate occasions so far this season. They suffered a five game skid back in Nov. when Joel Embiid missed time with a scary breakthrough COVID infection. They lost another trio of games during a rough patch on the schedule, falling short to the Grizzlies, Heat, and Nets in mid Dec.
Now they’ll need to slow down a pair of All-Stars in DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine in order to avoid their third loss in a row during Sunday’s (no football today) matinee.
Lonzo Ball is out with a torn meniscus.
