The Philadelphia 76ers have flipped the card over and gone back to zero days without being unnecessarily dramatic. On Monday, after blowing a 19-point lead to a Miami Heat team missing a couple key rotation pieces and playing on the second night of a back-to-back, the Sixers held a team meeting in the locker room, details of which were leaked and reported by ESPN’s Shams Charania.
Tyrese Maxey challenging Joel Embiid on his perpetual tardiness was the headliner, and there was also some disconnect between the coaching staff and the players. With Philadelphia now sitting at 2-11 on the season, Play-In Tournament speculation has started and ruminations about the team’s 2025 draft pick owed to Oklahoma City only being 1-to-6-protected are going on across the Delaware Valley.
