Today, as the Sixers look somewhat lost without Joel Embiid, I’m watching the meltdowns, and choking on my earlier words.
The team absolutely misses his presence more than it may ever admit it — especially considering how things ended. The 2018 MVP and three-time NBA scoring champion forced his way out of Philadelphia after stating in August he would never again play forThe Sixers traded Harden, P.J. Tucker, and Filip Petrušev to the Clippers on Nov. 1. Harden will face his former team for the first time at 3:30 p.m. Sunday at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
But since then, the Sixers have lost 15 of 23 games to drop to eighth place in the Eastern Conference standings with 12 games remaining. His most memorable performance came with Embiid sidelined with an LCL sprain in his right knee in Game 1 of the 2023 second-round playoff series against the Boston Celtics.
But the Clippers looked like a team in disarray when he first arrived in Los Angeles. The star-studded squad, which had started the season 2-2, lost his first five games. Things began to change for the better in the next game, as the Clippers defeated the Rockets, 106-100, on Nov. 17. The new-look Sixers must keep working to get on same page and share the ball after busy trade deadline
