The Philadelphia 76ers had their first good moment of the regular season, upsetting Indiana on the road in overtime over the weekend, with Tyrese Maxey exploding for 45 points. Negadelphia being what it is, however, we were then due for a letdown, and we received it Tuesday with the news that Joel Embiid and Paul George were both out for tonight’s home contest against the Detroit Pistons.
It had been hinted at that the Pistons game would be the season debut for both stars, so it’s a bit of a letdown in that sense.
