Though this is largely due to the injuries that Joel Embiid and Paul George have dealt with all season, it is still a tough look for the 76ers as they are in legitimate danger of missing the postseason.

The Knicks are looking to get back on track after losses to the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics and they have handled the Sixers twice already on the season. Philadelphia will look to Tyrese Maxey and Paul George to lead the way in the third of four matchups with the Knicks on the season.

In what has become a rare occurrence this season, the Philadelphia 76ers had Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Paul George on the court at the same time on Thursday. But having their big three playing together didn't matter.

Paul George scored 17 points to lead the 76ers, who have lost six straight and eight of nine. Philadelphia fell a season-worst 15 games under .500.

An NBA insider has delivered some rather brutal news for former Fresno State Bulldogs star Paul George as he nears the end of a disastrous debut season with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Tyrese Maxey discusses the growth of Joel Embiid and other Philadelphia 76ers topics on Paul George's podcast.

The Sixers brought absolutely nothing to the table on Thursday night. The result: a bludgeoning at the hands of their foes from Boston.
