PHILADELPHIA — The clock is ticking on the 76ers’ season.
Friday’s 126-112 loss to the Chicago Bulls at the Wells Fargo Center marked their 38th contest of an 82-game season. It also was their 32nd game without their season-opening starting lineup intact. This time, perennial All-NBA selection Joel Embiid missed his second consecutive game with a sore left foot.
That’s far from ideal for a squad with several new additions and NBA championship aspirations. The Sixers would love to get into a rhythm with a full squad. Yet they’re running out of quality time to do so.
