76ers Struggle Deepens with Injuries and Locker Room Tensions
Joel Embiid delivers his best performance of the season but faces injury concerns and disputes over leaked team meeting details as the Sixers fall to 2-12.
- Joel Embiid criticized anonymous leaks about a team meeting where Tyrese Maxey reportedly addressed his tardiness, calling the leaker a 'real piece of [expletive]'.
- The Sixers lost to the Memphis Grizzlies 117-111, marking their fifth consecutive loss and dropping them to the NBA's worst record at 2-12 this season.
- Embiid scored a season-high 35 points with 11 rebounds but suffered a knee collision during the game, leaving him visibly in pain and raising concerns about his health.
- Paul George exited the game early with a hyperextended left knee, the same injury that sidelined him earlier this season, further compounding the Sixers' injury woes.
- The team's struggles come despite the return of Tyrese Maxey from a hamstring injury, with limited minutes and a poor shooting performance from the young guard.
