The Philadelphia 76ers faced a challenging start to the 2024 NBA Cup, losing to the New York Knicks, despite the return of seven-time All-Star center Joel Embiid. Embiid, coming off a suspension, played limited minutes and struggled with his shooting.
In contrast, Paul George excelled, scoring 29 points and grabbing ten rebounds. However, the Sixers couldn't secure a win, falling short in their next game against the Cleveland Cavaliers as well, leaving them at 0-1 in the tournament.
Looking ahead, the 76ers will take on the Orlando Magic, who currently lead the standings.
