Despite a trio of stars consisting of Joel EmbiidTyrese Maxey e Paul George, the Sixers' offense is among the worst in the leagueundermining their playoff hopes.
The statistics tell a troubling story: the Sixers are 27esimi per offensive ratingaveraging just 107.5 points per game. They are last in assist-to-turnover ratio and assist percentage, with just 20.1 assists on average, the worst figure in the league.
Even in terms of shooting percentages, the situation is bleak: 29th for baskets scored per game, 25th for field goal percentage, and 27th for both triples scored and three-point percentage.
Coach Nick Nurse is also facing difficulties in giving continuity to the offensive game. The loss of the rookie Jared McCainsidelined with a knee injury, further complicated the rotations, but the Sixers' problems go beyond injuries.
With the return of Embiid, Maxey and George, the Sixers aim to shake up their season. However, if the performances in the attacking half of the field do not improve significantly, the risk of seeing the playoff NBA becomes more and more concrete.
The next few months will be crucial for Philadelphia: the team needs a turnaround and to do it quickly. Without a change of direction, the season could end before it even takes off.
