THE Sixers will not give in to panic. According to The Athletictheir missed start to the season will not cause the departure of Nick Nursetheir trainer, nor that of Daryl Moreytheir president. At least, not right away.
Before making any changes to their organizational chart, decision-makers Philadelphia intend to see what their group is capable of when it is complete, especially with their three stars far from the infirmary. For now, Tyrese Maxey is injured, but his return is imminent, while Joel Embiid And Paul George have missed many matches since the restart.
Currently dead last in the NBA, with a record of only 2 victories in 13 games, the Sixers are disappointing and, proof that things are not going well in Pennsylvania, a crisis meeting took place Monday evening, after the defeat in Miami. Enough to allow Tyrese Maxey to reframe Joel Embiid, whose recurring delays have weighed on the locker room since the resumption.
Suffice to say that Philly's next matches, scheduled in Memphis then against Brooklyn and the Clippers, will be worth a lot to launch a positive dynamic and reverse the trend. As for Nick Nurse, hired in 2023 to succeed Doc Rivers, he will be asked to train his team harder, which will try to become the 9th in history to reach the playoffs despite a 2–11 start (105 occurrences before this year).
