When I say this season has been taxing, boy, do I mean it. Another road loss last night, this time against a young Cleveland Cavaliers squad, has many questioning just how far this team can actually go in the playoffs.
Ben Simmons wasn’t available last night, and he won’t be for the foreseeable future due to a nerve impingement in his lower back suffered right after the All-Star Break. Now the bad news just keeps rolling in as Joel Embiid suffered a left shoulder sprain in the first quarter against the Cavaliers, an injury that seemed to cause Embiid a significant amount of discomfort as he left the court.
