The Philadelphia 76ers got some bad news days ago when it was announced that Joel Embiid was ruled out for the rest of the season. That didn’t stop them from coming out the next day and getting a big 126-119 win over the Golden State Warriors.

Quentin Grimes just had his third 30-point game as a 76er on Tuesday. Paul George also has three 30-point outings as a 76er— but he has played in four times as many games as Grimes while making nearly ten times as much money.

The 76ers will tell you that their moves at the NBA trade deadline and beyond were about getting younger and more athletic. But they also were about getting up-close looks at potential role players for the future.

The Philadelphia 76ers will attempt to end a five-game road losing streak when they face the Boston Celtics on Thursday night in the NBA. The 76ers have lost 11 of their last 12 games overall. This will be Philadelphia’s fourth game since the team announced Joel Embiid would miss the rest of the season for left knee injury management.

Quentin Grimes has been a revelation since joining the Sixers at the trade deadline, but his ascension does present the front office with a few good problems.
