The play-in tournament could be the Sixers’ saving grace

After their blowout loss to the Miami Heat on Monday night, the Sixers are now 2-11. They’re tied with the Washington Wizards for the worst record in the NBA, just as we all expected coming into the season. (The offseason vibes were too good. We only have ourselves to blame for this.)

Injuries have been largely to blame for their dismal start. Joel Embiid, Paul George and Tyrese Maxey have spent exactly zero minutes together on the floor this season. But if they don’t turn their season around soon, they’ll be in grave danger of missing the playoffs.
