The Sixers, without Joel Embiid and Paul George, fought like hell against the Magic, but they couldn't get over the hump in a loss Wednesday night.

The NBA Cup field is set, but there are still plenty of non-Sixers game to have an interest in this week!

With the NBA Cup picture set, the Sixers had two games added to their schedule for mid-December.

The Sixers will be without both Joel Embiid and Paul George for their contest hosting the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night.

The Philadelphia 76ers face an uphill battle in trying to snag their third win in a row with a hot Orlando Magic team led by Franz Wagner coming to town.

The Sixers blew a 19-point lead Tuesday as their offense sputtered down the stretch. For whatever reason, Rookie of the Month Jared McCain remained on the bench.

It wasn't pretty at the end, by the combined efforts of Paul George, Tyrese Maxey and a few other Sixers pulled them over the line to defeat the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday.

The Sixers certainly didn't make it easy, blowing a lead that was as large as 19, but Paul George dropped 29 as they finally won consecutive games vs. the Hornets.

The 16th overall pick in the 2024 NBA draft shined during the first month and change of the season.

Philadelphia will look to build off the weekend's win over the Pistons as they head to Charlotte to face the 6-14 Hornets.
