The Philadelphia 76ers have lost eight straight and look completely lost on the court. How might their 2025 NBA Draft plans shape up accordingly?
The 2024-25 season has not gone the way that the Philadelphia 76ers had hoped for or imagined. After securing the services of nine-time All-Star Paul George this past summer, the Sixers had expected to become contenders. However, that is far from the case.
Nick Nurse decided to keep Joel Embiid on the bench in the fourth quarter. The Nets went on to beat the 76ers.
Even though Philadelphia ended the game on a 24-6 run in garbage time, the team lost by 32 points. It was the 76ers' eighth consecutive loss and their 10th in 11 games. They are now 20-37, 12th in the Eastern Conference and 2.
