The Sixers split their most recent stretch of games without Joel Embiid. They went 2-2 over a roadtrip with wins over the young and scrappy Orlando Magic and Houston Rockets, and losses to the Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls behind poor shooting displays.
Barring a major injury, that is the blueprint for the occasional games the Sixers will be without Embiid this year. They are on pace for plenty of wins with the big fella in the lineup, they just need to survive the few games he isn’t.
This edition of the rotation trust level will look at the center options beyond Embiid to determine if they have enough reinforcements, or if the Sixers should add a big man to their trade deadline wishlist.
