The Philadelphia 76ers have beed pretty mediocre as of late. After a notable 4-0 start, the team has since cooled off, losing eight of its next 14 outings. But to be fair, the injury bug has once again continued to wreak havoc on this team. Currently, they are missing a handful of key players, most notably Joel Embiid.
After appearing in six of their first nine games (only missing those three games as they were on the second leg of back-to-backs), Embiid has gone on to be absent in their last nine outings. After a minor issue with his right knee, he has had a day-to-day status, but the medical staff has yet to clear him to be in uniform.
