While Philadelphia is preparing to organize a parade to celebrate the Super Bowl winner football team, the city’s basketball squad does not give its fans much to cheer.

Losers of three in a row and 12 of their last 17 games will try to change their assets on Tuesday when they align the Toronto Raptors.

Tyrese Maxey scored 39 points and Joel Embiid had 27 time to make 12 rebounds in Philadelphias 135-127 on Sunday afternoon against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Sure, the Eagles deleted this bad atmosphere hours later with a one -sided victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl Lix, but the hardwood enthusiasts of the city have a legitimate reason for concern due to the emergency of the 76.

Embbiid admitted reporters that further operation of the low season on the left knee is possible if he experiences no relief before the end of the campaign.

“Nobody knew that it would be. After the operation I didn’t have enough time. I came back for the playoffs. And then after the Olympic Games, then back to the regular season”, the 2023 NBA MVP said according to the Philadelphia Inquirer .

“I think at some point I probably only have to, especially when summer comes, we will get these few months and just relax for myself. As I say, I don’t know what it is. If that’s always the same pattern Obviously you try something else.

The 76s had to try something else on Sunday, as they allowed the goats to make 43.6 percent of their 3-point attempts robust while confiscating 19 offensive rebounds.

“You obviously reached a super high percentage. But they had a lot of good ones. Many of them (on) consecutive possessions. And then the other is the offensive back rush,” said Nick Nurse of Philadelphia chief coach Nick Nurse. “You just got many opportunities for the second chance. Some of these threes have made it out.”

Embbiid was a viewer in 36 of the 52 games of the team this season, including the 115-107 setback of the 76 in Toronto on October 25th. Maxey ended with 24 points in this game, even though he shot 6-against-23 from the ground. including 2 out of 12 from a 3-point range.

Scottie Barnes, who led Toronto with 27 points in this competition, ended on Sunday at 15 when the Raptors lost four games with a setback of 94-87 against the Houston Rockets. Barnes fell wrong in all eight attempts from beyond the arch to the Rockets.

Immanuel Quickley collected 20 points, eight rebounds and three assists in 30 minutes on Sunday. Not too shabby when you consider that he had returned from groin and hip problems last week.

“This is the whole purpose of building it up and having these minutes of restriction so that he can really play hard for 16 minutes … 20 minutes … for 24 minutes,” said Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic according to The Toronto Star.

“And when he increases this, his conditioning (back) is back, he finds the rhythm there more … He was very solid at the defensive end.”

RJ Barrett stays in the NBA hermitage program and still has to be released.

“There are a few tires that he has to go through,” said Rajakovic. “So it will take a few days for it to be clarified.”
