With several key Sixers players still out due to Seth Curry’s positive Covid test and the contact tracing protocols that go along with it, the Hawks proved to be too much for the shorthanded squad. The Sixers suited up 9 players in a game that had more of a preseason vibe than a regular-season clash.
After leading at the end of the first quarter 32-28, the game quickly rolled downhill and the Sixers failed to cut the deficit to single digits the entire second half. In the end, the final score was 112-94 and it was clear the lack of depth caught up to the team in this one.
