The All-Star big man continues to force way his into the MVP conversation as he turned in another dominant performance in the Sixers’ 119-100 win over the Spurs at the Wells Fargo Center Friday night.
The Sixers’ sixth straight win improves them to 22-16 on the season. Don’t look now, but they’re within 4.5 games of the first-seeded Bulls as of this posting. The Sixers travel to Houston on Monday for a rematch with the Rockets.
Tyrese Maxey, Paul Reed and Jaden Springer remain in the league’s health and safety protocols.
