The Philadelphia 76ers arguably have the most potent and temperamental injury bug in the entire league. Time and time again, injuries have proven to be this franchise’s main Achilles’ heel, derailing their chances at making significant noise at the most inopportune times. To make matters worse, the NBA itself has not been very forgiving to them. Instead, the league has been blatantly unfair.
Just one month into the regular season, the 76ers already had four sets of back-to-backs, which is the second-most among all teams (trailing only the Warriors). Now, when the schedule came out a couple of months ago, it was already made known to everybody that Philly will be having the most back-to-backs this season, but this sheer imbalance gets even more vivid when compared to the relaxed slates other teams got.
