76ers’ area of need goes from bad to worse with Trendon Watford update

The Philadelphia 76ers entered their 144-103 loss to the Orlando Magic on Tuesday without five players. That number increased to six before the halftime buzzer even sounded.

Trendon Watford suffered a left adductor strain in the second quarter of Philadelphia’s defeat to Orlando and will undergo a reevaluation in two weeks, the team announced this afternoon. The 76ers’ power forward depth is now dangerously thin amid Watford’s absence and Paul George’s (ankle) uncertain availability.

More bad news for the Sixers.

Looks like a non-contact injury for Trendon Watford, who goes down here grabbing his groin and is immediately helped to the locker room by Kyle Lowry.
