The Philadelphia 76ers are in danger of missing the playoffs due to injuries to key players such as Tyrese Maxey and Paul George.

The team has lost eight of their last 12 games and is one game ahead of the Atlanta Hawks and Charlotte Hornets. Meanwhile, Joel Embiid remains sidelined due to an oblique strain.
