As the Philadelphia 76ers prepared for their Monday night matchup against the Miami Heat, they anticipated missing a couple of key names, which hasn’t been anything new lately.
The Philadelphia 76ers have endured quite a tough season; for the past one and a half months, they have been without Joel Embiid, while Tyrese Maxey has also missed his fair share of games after sustaining a concussion.
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid may not return by the end of the month as previously expected. However, the Sixers “are hopeful Embiid returns the first or second week of April,” per The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Keith Pompey.

Philadelphia 76ers big man Kai Jones made headlines for the wrong reasons earlier this season. The former first-round pick has since opened up about what may have caused his unusual behavior.
Both the Philadelphia 76ers and the Miami Heat will be missing starters as they face off on Monday night. Both teams will be shorthanded on Monday night in a contest between the Miami Heat and the Philadelphia 76ers.
Despite pulling out two win, the Philadelphia 76ers had a disappointing week on the offensive side of the ball. The team posted two consecutive sub-80 point games against the New York Knicks early in the week.
It’s no secret Tyrese Maxey has become a fan favorite for the Philadelphia 76ers. Even before he was an everyday starter for the team, Maxey earned a lot of love when he joined the team as its first-round selection out of Kentucky.
New Philadelphia 76ers center Kai Jones made a return to the NBA after an ugly exit from the Charlotte Hornets. After signing a 10-day contract with the Sixers and playing in two games for their G League affiliate, he shed some light on what happened between him and his former team.
Tyrese Maxey and co. must continue to keep things afloat while Joel Embiid recovers. The Sixers recently lost to the Knicks by 27, and then lost to the Bucks by nine.
Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse told NBA reporters that he’s “pretty confident” center Joel Embiid will return before the regular season ends. Embiid underwent surgery on his left knee to address a meniscus injury.
Nick Nurse revealed the plan for Kai Jones while Buddy Hield and Kelly Oubre, Jr. talked about what the 2021 first-rounder brings to the Sixers. The Sixers had two open roster spots.
Tyrese Maxey has been on the rise for the Philadelphia 76ers since the season began. But even though the first-time All-Star guard is slowly getting recognized, he isn’t immune to wild elbows to the face when he faced off against Brandon Miller and the Charlotte Hornets recently.
On Friday afternoon, the Philadelphia 76ers announced that the team was bringing on the veteran center, Kai Jones. The 23-year-old former first-round pick lands with the Sixers’ organization temporarily, as he signed a 10-Day contract.

The Philadelphia 76ers will look to snap a two-game losing streak when they host the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday night. After falling 106-79 to the New York Knicks on Tuesday, the Sixers lost 114-105 to the Milwaukee Bucks two days later.
A report ahead of training camp indicated that the big man wouldn’t be reporting to the Hornets for personal reasons. He subsequently requested a trade and then was waived by the club.
