Tyrese Maxey took an awkward fall on his back and left the game while the Sixers dropped the contest to the Blazers Monday night.

Joel Embiid put up 37 points in 35 minutes and the Sixers controlled the game for most of the night as they cruised to their fourth straight win over the Blazers.

The Sixers shouldn’t tank the rest of the 2024-25 season — and even if they wanted to, it’s not very practical.
