Should the Sixers end Joel Embiid’s injury-plagued season right now and embrace tanking? It’s a decision Daryl Morey, Elton Brand, and Nick Nurse should think long and hard about. The PHLY Sixers podcast discusses how that would impact decisions on Tyrese Maxey and Paul George.

Despite an electric 37-point performance by Tyrese Maxey, the Philadelphia 76ers fell to the Milwaukee Bucks 123-109. Adem Bona, starting the first game of his NBA career as the Sixers were playing without Joel Embiid, Andre Drummond and Guerschon Yabusele, added in 10 points and 6 rebounds before fouling out.

With the loss, Philadelphia's sixth in a row, the Sixers fell to 15-26 on the season.

The Sixers could not overcome a dominant 34 point, 15 rebound, 6 assist performance from Giannis Antetokounmpo, along with a monster fourth quarter from Damian Lillard, who scored 16 in the final frame after being held in check for most of the game.

That’s now five straight losses for the Philadelphia 76ers (15-25) after falling to the Indiana Pacers (24-19) on Saturday night, 115-102. Tyrese Maxey guided the shorthanded Sixers with a game-high 28 points, received scoring and rebounding help from Kelly Oubre Jr. (18) and Ricky Council IV (18), plus surprising contributions off the bench from rookie big man Adem Bona with a ton of energy and effort. The 76ers trailed by as many as 11 in the first half but fought back to cut the lead to two at halftime and held a five-point advantage in the third, but the Pacers were just too much as they rebuilt a 16-point cushion in the third and were able to hold onto the win.

Tyrese Maxey had an incredible second half, scoring 27 points after intermission, including the game-tying bucket with two seconds left in regulation to force OT.

The Philadelphia 76ers will kick off their toughest stretch of the schedule this week, with games against the Oklahoma City Thunder, New York Knicks and Milwaukee Bucks.

Paul George’s second-half flurry was not enough in the Sixers’ loss to the Magic, with the star wing fouling out and leaving it to Tyrese Maxey to close the game.

In their three-game homestand finale, the Philadelphia 76ers (15-21) fall to the New Orleans Pelicans, 123-115. The Pelicans (8-31) led at the end of each of the first three frames thanks to a balanced team effort that was guided by veteran guard CJ McCollum's 18 points in the opening quarter. McCollum was amazing, finishing with a game-high 38.

Tyrese Maxey had a nice overall game for the Sixers finishing with 30 points, 12 assists and six rebounds, but it wasn't enough to get the win for the home team. Paul George was in foul trouble in the first half with three personals that forced him to the bench -- George ended the night with 25, a game-high 11 rebounds and five assists. Kelly Oubre Jr. added 21 and seven boards. Philadelphia will head to Orlando on Sunday for a matchup with the Magic.

The Philadelphia 76ers (15-20) are back in the win column after a nail-biting win over the Washington Wizards (6-29) on Wednesday night, 109-103.

After shooting just 3-13 from the field and 1-10 from beyond in the first half for eight points, Tyrese Maxey dropped 14 in the third quarter and finished with a game-high 29 on the night. Maxey also handed out a team-high seven assists.

Kelly Oubre Jr. added 15 points, four boards, four assists and two steals. Eric Gordon got the start in the backcourt with Maxey and went 3 for 5 from long distance for 15 points overall. Washington's Jared Butler came off the bench to net a team-high 26 in the loss, Corey Kispert poured in 23.
