Daily News | The Sixers will need clean bill of health — and a little luck — to chart path toward NBA title
CHICAGO — If the 76ers have shown one thing through the years, it’s that winning an NBA title isn’t easy.
But to win a team must also avoid injuries and have some luck — two areas in which the Sixers have struggled. Right now, Harden is listed as questionable with left Achilles soreness for Wednesday’s game against the Chicago Bulls. P.J. Tucker, who missed the past two games after twisting his left ankle, is also questionable. Meanwhile, Embiid has battled through injuries in the Sixers’ previous five postseason appearances.
It’s not entirely surprising that the Sixers have gotten the best of Milwaukee, the league’s best team. They also crushed the Denver Nuggets, the West’s top squad.In fact, their 36-11 record since Dec. 9 is tops in the NBA, and before Monday’s loss, the Sixers were riding an eight-game winning streak. They’ll look to avenge that loss in Wednesday night’s rematch against the Bulls at the United Center.
After the game and prior to Tuesday’s announcement, Rivers revealed after the game that Harden is dealing with a foot issue. The 10-time All-Star also missed Saturday’s road victory over the Indiana Pacers with injury management, and was previously held out of 14 games earlier this season with a strained tendon in his right foot.
