Welcome to Run It Back! In this weekly series, we will summarize the week overall and recap each Sixers game from the previous week (Sunday to Sunday).
The week kicked off with a bit of a letdown for basketball fans hoping to see a battle of the bigs, a faceoff between the top-two MVP contenders, Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers and Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets. Unfortunately, it was not meant to be, as Embiid was ruled out with calf soreness. James Harden also was still out due to Achillies soreness.
