With two weeks in the books, the Sixers are an Eastern Conference best 6-1, and owners of the second best defense in the league.
They're also a perfect 6-0 in "clutch" games so far this season, consistently pulling out wins in the guts of the game with a tenacious defense, poised decision making and perfect execution.
Who are you and what have you done with the Philadelphia 76ers.
We'll dive into both of those topics in this Sixers Week in Review newsletter.
But first, a few news and notes.
📰
News and Notes
Current injuries:
- Dominick Barlow (low back stress reaction) and Ariel Hukporti (Achilles) remains out. (Note: Hukporti is out for the season. I won't include him in future injury updates.)
- Jabari Walker (left knee soreness) returned against the Hornets, and Tacko Fall (left quadriceps strain) was available for the first time in that game (although he did not play).
- The only player besides Barlow and Hukporti on the injury report to start the week is Joel Embiid, who is listed as questionable for tonight's game against the Bulls with right foot plantar fascia injury management.
Upcoming schedule:
- Monday, 7:30 pm vs Chicago Bulls (1-5)
- Wednesday, 7 pm @ Detroit Pistons (5-1)
