The Sixers dropped to 10 games under .500 Saturday night with a defeat to the Pacers.
The Sixers dropped their fifth consecutive game and dipped to 10 games under .500 on Saturday night in Indiana.
For the first time in a while, the Sixers’ strong start prompted the opponent to call an early timeout. The Pacers committed a couple of sloppy turnovers, Oubre and Gordon knocked down jumpers and the Sixers went up 8-1. Moving forward, the Sixers will hope Drummond can stay healthy and provide some measure of consistency and dependability at center. Counting the Indiana game, Embiid and Drummond have combined to make five appearances in the month of January. Drummond shared the floor with fellow center Adem Bona for a few minutes in the second quarter.
“Playing in the dunker helps us get spaced a lot, so I’ve been trying to do that and trying to draw the other big out of the paint,” Bona said on Jan. 9. “I think the biggest thing I’ve learned is me being on the court helps the team space the floor.”
