Recently, according to reporter Keith Pompey, 76ers player Tobias Harris tested positive for the new crown and will be absent for at least 10 days, and this is already the 76ers' seventh player to suffer injury attacks since this season, according to previous reports, Embiid, Drummond, Danny Green and other main rotations have different degrees of injuries...
I have to say that the 76ers' recent bad things are really a gear after a gear, where Simmons has not been coaxed, here Harris is missing due to illness, plus other role players, the 76ers have a full $105 million lineup can not play, all three of the maximum salary, only Embiid is still injured, you know, the 76ers' entire team salary is only 144.1 million US dollars!
Fortunately, according to sources, the relationship between Simmons and the 76ers has shown signs of easing, and the team generally believes that Simmons will play for the team in the "six-in-a-row trip" in November, if the news is true, then the "remnants of the willow" 76ers will finally wait for a new dawn.
It is worth mentioning that although the 76ers have been in a state of "full of injuries", under the coaching of coach Doug Rivers, the 76ers still have an excellent record of 6 wins and 2 losses, and this is almost all due to Rivers's superb on-the-spot change, he boldly handed the ball to little Curry, Maxi and other unknown small defenders in the absence of Simmons and Harris, which allowed them to share a lot of Embiid's pressure on the offensive end, which allowed the 76ers to win 4 consecutive victories all the way.
Strictly speaking, the 76ers are still a top four team in the East, as long as Harris and Simmons can return to the two top salaries, then under the leadership of Rivers, the 76ers are still one of the strong contenders for the championship, but one thing to note is that Rivers really wants to think about how to improve the team's injury situation!
After all, since the beginning of 18 years, the 76ers have suffered big losses in the playoffs for 3-4 consecutive years because of injuries, especially Simmons and Embiid, the two big brothers, almost every year is a "you hurt, I hurt again" crisp state, if Rivers continues to use the main force in the regular season, then the 76ers will always be a runner role.
Personally, I think that role players such as Curry Jr., Danny Green and Drummond can actually carry the banner of the team's record in the regular season, but it is better to give them some more ball rights like now, and then let Embiid let go in the playoffs, or better than now that he has been injured and stopped, what do you think?
