Good lord, they need to flush this one as quickly as fans will.
The Sixers turned in their worst performance of the year, falling to the Orlando Magic 1444-103 in an effort that looked like it belonged to the 2024-25 squad.
Tyrese Maxey once again led the Sixers in scoring, though this time it felt like by default. He went for 20 points on 7-of-15 shooting as well as four rebounds and an assist. Easily the best news of the night was Jared McCain building on a good performance, finishing with 15 points on 6-of-13 shooting. Anthony Black led all scorers with 31.
Despite being originally listed as questionable, Joel Embiid missed his eighth straight game with a knee injury. Paul George was also a late scratch with an ankle sprain. Kelly Oubre Jr. and Adem Bona remained out. Orlando was most notably without Paolo Banchero, who suffered a groin injury last week.
Here are some thoughts at the buzzer.
