By the end of this past week, the Philadelphia 76ers were without both Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons, and Seth Curry. Despite the growing amount of injuries, head coach Doc Rivers didn’t fully embrace the rookie depth that he has at his disposal.

21st pick, 2020 draft

Out of all the rookies, Tyrese Maxey saw the most game action this past week. That being written, he still only played in two games and totaled 14 points in 16 minutes for both games. The good news is that he is starting to find his shooting touch again which is positive for when the Sixers need to go to him for some bench scoring.
