The 76ers' season was disappointing from the start, and a lot of it was due to injuries. 76ers star forward Paul George suffered a significant injury during the preseason, and Joel Embiid entered the season with knee troubles, which caused him to play only 19 games.

Foul-baiting refers to the act of a player intentionally trying to draw a foul while being tightly guarded to force a stoppage or a trip to the free-throw line. Players like Embiid and Brunson do this by falling toward their defenders when taking a shot to force the defender to make contact with them.

The Philadelphia 76ers will continue to forge ahead with the tandem of Joel Embiid and Paul George, according to NBA insider <a href=" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jake Fischer.
