Philadelphia is going to be entering the season with the roster still in "get to know each other" mode.
Philadelphia 76ers fans got word on Thursday that they will not see Paul George at the beginning of the regular season next week. What that means is that this team is going to be in an extremely unfortunate situation: they're going to be entering the season still in "get to know each other" mode.
The update from Friday morning that informed us Joel Embiid will participate in the Sixers' final preseason game serves to improve this circumstance a tad, but that doesn't diminish the fact that this team won't have totality until some point after the start of the 82-game regular season slate.
