It’s odd that Jalen Brunson seems to get superstar treatment from officials, while Tyrese Maxey (who is making an outside case for series MVP) does not.
Tyrese Maxey batteld illness, Joel Embiid battled injury and the Sixers did just enough to gut out a massive road victory over Jalen Brunson and the Knicks in Game 2. but they couldn’t beat the NBA officials.
Injury management has been the Sixers’ Achilles heel for years now. And it doesn’t sound as if Daryl Morey and Nick Nurse have the best plan to keep Joel Embiid healthy. New NBA rules and stupid media discourse aren’t helping either.
