The entire team will be in load management before too long. Forget Embiid, the entire squad might skip back to backs.

Also, could someone rename this thread October/November lol.

Maxey will be reevaluated in a week, but I can see them giving him the 2 weeks. Sixers play 8 games within the next 2 weeks. Embiid will be back in 2 games. Ideally, they can win against the Hornets and try to go on a run when Embiid gets back. We'll see what Jared McCain can do.



The two benefits for the Sixers is that the schedule does 'lighten' up after the Knicks & Cavs back to back next week and Sixers only have 2 B2B before the NBA Cup. Ideally, Embiid will play in those non-B2B games and they will have a lot of 'winnable' games before the NBA Cup week. So, they have a realistic chance to get close to .500 before the NBA Cup. Everything Sixers want to do on both ends is built around Embiid. That's a good and bad thing. It's good because he should be back soon. It's bad because they haven't seemed to figure out how to play without him and there will be a lot of B2Bs. I kind of wish we already had a B2B or 2 already.
