Struggling 76ers Try to Right the Ship Against Raptors
While Philadelphia fans are still buzzing from the Eagles’ Super Bowl win, the city’s basketball team isn’t giving them much to cheer about. The 76ers (30-22) have dropped three straight and 12 of their last 17 and will try to reverse their fortunes when they host the Toronto Raptors (19-33) on Tuesday night.
Philly’s Woes Continue
Philadelphia fell 135-127 to Milwaukee on Sunday despite big performances from Tyrese Maxey (39 points) and Joel Embiid (27 points, 12 rebounds). The Bucks shot 43.6% from three and dominated the offensive glass, exposing some of the Sixers’ biggest issues.

Head coach Nick Nurse pointed out that the Bucks’ second-chance points and defensive lapses hurt them the most.
Embiid’s Knee Issues Loom Large
Joel Embiid has been sidelined for 36 of Philly’s 52 games this season, and he recently admitted that another offseason surgery might be necessary.
“At some point, I probably just need to … recover. As I say, I don’t know what it is. But if that keeps being the same pattern, obviously you’ve got to try something else.”
This uncertainty has raised concerns about how much the Sixers can truly compete down the stretch.
Toronto’s Struggles Aren’t Any Better
The Raptors have lost four straight, most recently falling 94-87 to the Houston Rockets on Sunday. Toronto shot just 6-for-40 from three in that game, with Scottie Barnes (0-for-8 from deep) struggling to find his rhythm.
Immanuel Quickley, returning from a groin and hip injury, put up 20 points, eight rebounds, and three assists in 30 minutes. RJ Barrett, however, remains in the NBA’s concussion protocol and has yet to be cleared to play.

Key Matchups to Watch
- Tyrese Maxey vs. Scottie Barnes: Maxey dropped 24 points in Philly’s 115-107 loss to Toronto on Oct. 25, but shot just 6-for-23. Can he be more efficient this time?
- Joel Embiid (if active) vs. Raptors’ bigs: Embiid’s status will be key, as Philly’s record with and without him is night and day.
- Three-point shooting: Both teams struggled from beyond the arc in their last game. Whoever finds their stroke will have the upper hand.
Will the 76ers Bounce Back?
Philly needs a get-right game, and a struggling Raptors squad could be exactly what they need. But if the 76ers’ defensive lapses continue, Toronto could steal a much-needed win on the road.
Can Maxey and Embiid power the Sixers to a win, or will Toronto snap its four-game skid?
