The 2025-26 season may still be a couple of months away, but it seems like the Philadelphia 76ers have already racked up their first loss in the upcoming campaign with this most recent development surrounding their biggest concern heading into the year.
As if what last season proved could not be any clearer, Joel Embiid will be the biggest determining factor on just how good the 76ers can be in 2025-26. The team will go wherever he propels them, and there is little doubt that the team will be left in the dark in the standings if he fails to play like his usual self on both ends.
