Like, I mean, this is something that you almost were scared was going to happen to him. But knowing the fact that they already had two superstars out with injuries, it's awful to see. Now, what's good for the Sixers is that they do have Paul George trickling back into minutes, right? Even on his restricted night, he played 32 minutes in his first game out. Joel Embiid coming back. So it's not as if
This is going to be a long stretch of period of time with the Sixers not having any stars. It's just going to be really tough because what Maxie brings in terms of intensity, energy, general fun to what the Sixers do is so important for their chemistry on the floor.
