Eric Gordon's season with the Philadelphia 76ers has likely come to an end after undergoing wrist surgery. The shooting guard will be evaluated in three months, rendering him unavailable for the majority of the remaining games. The Sixers, who are struggling and currently on a nine-game losing streak, sit in 12th place in the Eastern Conference, 2.5 games behind the 10th-place Chicago Bulls for the final Play-In Tournament spot.

Despite this setback, Gordon had been a valuable asset for the team, particularly in aiding the spacing for stars Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey. He averaged 6.8 points while shooting 40.9% from beyond the arc this season. Now, the focus shifts to whether the Sixers can make a late push for the playoffs without him.
