The Philadelphia 76ers top two players in Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid didn’t play well consistently. Simmons had a game with nine turnovers while Embiid played with gastroenteritis when he probably shouldn’t have and his game reflected how he was feeling. Despite all the roster shakeups due to the team’s recent trades, Jimmy Butler consistently had good play and has earned himself the player of the week award.
Despite a failed comeback attempt in the Sixers loss against the Toronto Raptors, Butler’s play was on point.
