Note: The stats and figures below are as of January 31, prior to the team’s win over Golden State.
In the Denver Nuggets game on January 26, three Philadelphia 76ers starters of varying importance (Joel Embiid, Jimmy Butler, and Wilson Chandler) were sidelined due to injury, thrusting role players into larger roles. Each responded valiantly; 10-day player Corey Brewer started and scrapped his way to 20 points and six rebounds, Ben Simmons embraced the power forward role by grabbing 12 boards, and Shake Milton flashed potential as a rotation player, scoring 11 points.
Landry Shamet, however, provided the most impressive outing.
