Sixers Struggle Without Embiid and George in Early Season Losses

Philadelphia 76ers face challenges as they adapt to playing without key stars Joel Embiid and Paul George.

The 76ers have lost their first two games of the season, struggling against the Milwaukee Bucks and Toronto Raptors.
Tyrese Maxey, expected to lead the offense in the absence of Embiid and George, has struggled with shooting, hitting only 27.7% from the field.
Philadelphia's defense has been porous, allowing opponents to score easily and dominate in the paint, as seen in the Raptors' 56 points in the paint.
Despite the losses, Sixers players remain optimistic, emphasizing the need to stick to their principles and improve execution.
Toronto's bench played a crucial role in their victory over the Sixers, with rookies stepping up to fill gaps left by injuries to key players.
