You wouldn't think Monday’s game against a 22-35 Bulls team, riding a six-game losing streak, would be another tough night for a team as talented as these Sixers, but that's likely where we're heading with how woeful things have been this year.
The Sixers picked up their seventh straight loss on Saturday, losing against the Nets at the last second — with a fitting failed box-out to allow a buzzer-beating put-back. It takes the Sixers to 20-36 and 12th place in the Eastern Conference, just two spots behind Chicago.
We also enter the new week having heard on Sunday that the Sixers and Joel Embiid are now “considering alternative options” for how to move forward with his injured knee.
