At the Frost Bank Centre, the Sixers will then take on the San Antonio Spurs. It’s a more difficult battle since Victor Wembanyama and company have nothing to lose against a team that is clearly out of the postseason race.
The last three regular-season games for the Philadelphia 76ers are home games. They play the Orlando Magic, the Detroit Pistons, and the Brooklyn Nets to round off the season. The Sixers have games that they can win, excluding the Magic, and they will be hoping that the outcomes of a few Heat and Indiana Pacers games go their way.
Since his injury comeback, Embiid has demonstrated that he was the missing spark, and the 76ers are now focusing more on their dominant game.
