This is not the start to the season the Sixers were hoping for after what was largely seen as a successful offseason.
Nobody thought Joel Embiid would miss the first nine games of the regular season. The results were predictably disastrous as the team got off to a 2-7 start. It hasn’t gotten much better as the star big man has been in and out of the lineup and the Sixers have now floundered to a 4-14 record.
What’s been going on with Embiid has been as frustrating to follow as the product on the court.
