On October 29, the new NBA regular season continues. The 76ers currently have a record of 3 wins and 0 losses, and are temporarily tied for first place in the Eastern Conference. In this process, Embiid did not make much contribution, which led to him receiving a lot of criticism. The US media even bluntly stated that the 76ers were about to start a new era.

So far in the new season, Embiid has played twice, averaging 20 minutes per game, scoring 12 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 0.5 blocks and 2 turnovers, shooting 40% from the field and 30% from the three-point range. The 76ers were able to win consecutive games thanks to the outstanding performance of Maxey and Edgecombe.

In this regard, US media ClutchPionts said: "I originally thought that the 76ers would be struggling while waiting for the two stars to return. Paul George has not played a game: $51.6 million off the court. Embiid has only played 40 minutes since the beginning of the season: $55.2 million off the court. But the 76ers have 3 wins and 0 losses. This is thanks to Ma Kersey and Edgecombe took over. The two scored 186 points in three games, the most points in three games by a starting backcourt since the 1970-71 season. The 76ers did not wait for Embiid and George to carry the team. Maybe, a new era in Philadelphia has arrived. "

At the same time, former NBA star Cousins said: "When Embiid is on the court, everyone knows that the 76ers' offense revolves around Embiid, and they play a completely different style. I'm sure the management is also discussing: What will happen in the future, what are the possibilities, and whether we should consider certain selections. Xiang Guan will still be retained. So I completely think this is an issue worthy of discussion. I think the Philadelphia management is already considering parting ways with the former MVP."

Now that Embiid is suffering from injuries, and the two major defenders in the team are performing well, what do you think the 76ers should do next? Welcome to give your opinions in the comment area.
