The Philadelphia 76ers are facing a setback as veteran guard Kyle Lowry will be resting for the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Clippers due to the team’s back-to-back schedule. The Sixers have struggled without star player Joel Embiid, holding a 12-24 record this season when he’s absent. With Lowry’s absence, the team is feeling the pressure to perform at their best.

Lowry, who recently joined the Sixers after being bought out by the Charlotte Hornets, has been a valuable addition to the team, contributing an average of 8.1 points, 3.1 rebounds, 4.9 assists, and 1.1 steals per game. His absence in the upcoming game against the Clippers will test the depth of the Sixers’ roster, putting pressure on other players like Buddy Hield and Cam Payne to step up and fill the void.

With key players like Embiid, De’Anthony Melton, and Robert Covington already sidelined, the Sixers are facing a challenging phase as they aim to secure their first win in three attempts during their current four-game West Coast road trip. The team’s resilience will be put to the test as they strive to overcome the obstacles and maintain their competitive edge in the upcoming games.
