After barely edging out the Philadelphia 76ers at home on Wednesday night, the New York Knicks will be heading to the City of Brotherly Love for Games 3 and 4.
The Sixers need to win, and fast. With star Joel Embiid’s health in question after sitting Game 2 out with an ankle and hip injury, Philadelphia needs Tyrese Maxey and Paul George to carry more weight than they are. George finished the first quarter with 11 points and looked ot be on pace for a stellar night. He only scored eight more points for the rest of the night, and the Sixers went on to lose Game 2 narrowly 108-102.
One of the Knicks’ biggest questions for Game 3 will be OG Anunoby’s health. Late in the fourth quarter, Anunoby was forced to leave a tight game with an apparent leg injury. He seemed to pull up and hold his hamstring before asking to be subbed out. Along with the British baller’s status, Mitchell Robinson also did not play due to illness.
The Sixers are a much scarier team when Joel Embiid is playing, just ask Jaylen Brown. If Embiid is able to play through his ankle and hip injury at any point during their two-game homestand, they have a much better shot of winning at least one game. If not, Maxey, George, and Edgecombe will need to lead their team via good shooting and outpacing the Knicks.
