The Philadelphia 76ers are enduring a tumultuous 2024-25 NBA season, currently holding a disappointing 23-53 record after falling to the New York Knicks. Expectations were high for the trio of Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey following George's free agent signing, but injuries have plagued the squad. Embiid and George's limited games—19 and 41 respectively—alongside Maxey's absence since March 3 have stunted any potential chemistry. Despite their combined talent, the team has struggled to find rhythm, managing a mere 7-8 record in the brief appearances of their Big 3 together.

PJ Tucker, who has played with each of these superstars, emphasized the importance of chemistry and time spent together on the court, stating that instant success is unrealistic. Injuries have hindered their ability to establish the necessary trust and camaraderie, and as the season winds down, the Sixers can only hope for better health in the next season to compete effectively in the Eastern Conference.
