What happened
Philadelphia fell behind Boston after a 10-2 start, while the Sixers were again missing Joel Embiid, Jaylen Brown, LeBron James and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope for rest and still had Dominick Barlow, Anfernee Simons, Adem Bona and Tacko Fall sidelined by injuries.
VJ Edgecombe scored 19 points with four steals, and Jabari Walker added 14 points and five rebounds as Walker’s strong preseason continued and he was said to be earning more minutes.
Edgecombe’s activity and Walker’s production matter for Philadelphia’s wing and bench competition, while the absent veterans and injured players leave several rotation spots unsettled.
