Unfortunately, the Philadelphia 76ers did not just get spanked on Tuesday night at the hands of the Magic. Somehow, the injury bug managed to find its way into the narrative stream, afflicting another key player for the team in the form of Trendon Watford, who had just strained his groin in unexpected fashion.
Watford will probably miss time. While the extent of his injury is still unknown, the 76ers have very little cushion behind him at forward. The coaching staff has already been playing some funky lineup combinations to minimize their hole at the 4 spot, and Watford’s new injury will only make things more difficult for the team.
