The Philadelphia 76ers are off to a hot start, one that is burning brighter and hotter than anyone outside of Philly predicted. It may all come crashing down when Paul George returns from injury this month.
The question heading into the season for the 76ers was whether the franchise should lean into their veterans and try to make one more run with Joel Embiid and Paul George, hoping their veteran stars could stay healthy enough when it mattered -- or whether they should focus solely on their new young core and punt this season's record into the Delaware River.
