The Philadelphia 76ers were at a disadvantage against the Brooklyn Nets hours before the game even began. VJ Edgecombe, Dominick Barlow and Quentin Grimes fell victim to a team-wide illness on Tuesday night. As a result, Philadelphia held a top-heavy rotation and had to rely upon Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid and Paul George.
Although each player has had their moments throughout the season, the trio has yet to succeed collectively. The Maxey-Embiid-George tandem lacks cohesion, which contributed to the 76ers’ offensive troubles in their 114-106 loss to the Brooklyn Nets 114-106 at Xfinity Mobile Arena last night.
