The All-Star break is the unofficial midway point of the NBA season, but the Sixers have just 28 games remaining, beginning Thursday night as they host the Atlanta Hawks — a team they really need to beat, quite frankly.
Coming out of the break, the Sixers sit at 30-24, good for the sixth seed (and final guaranteed playoff spot) in the East. The conference is jumbled — the Sixers are five games back of the two seed, but five games up on the nine seed. These last 28 games will determine a whole lot.
After a quiet deadline that saw the team make no additions, Cameron Payne was brought back from overseas to take up the team’s final standard roster spot. Dominick Barlow and Jabari Walker had their two-way deals converted. Dalen Terry and Tyrese Martin took over the vacant two-way slots.
So, what are your most pressing questions and thoughts as the Sixers resume play?
