While they already have to juggle the absences of Joel Embiid, sick, the Sixers now have to deal with the injury of James Hardentheir second best player.
ESPN reports as well as the 2018 MVP, victim of a tendon strain in his right foot, will (likely) miss a month of competition.
An announcement that obviously sounds like a blow for the men of Doc Rivers, authors of a mixed start to the season (only four wins in nine games), and who will have to reorganize around Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey or Tobias Harris, to “forget” James Harden’s 22 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists average.
Especially since the upcoming calendar will be far from easy for Philadelphia…
