Los Sixers They broke their four-game losing streak with a hard-fought victory in Utah (124-127) in a game in which their star Joel Embiid did not play either, after Philadelphia confirmed that he suffers an injury to the meniscus in his left knee that will keep him out for an indefinite period of time and that could leave him out of the fight to retain the MVP.
It was a night when Tyrese Maxey it is dreamed of Embiid to propel your team with 51 points (10/18 t2, 7/9 triples and 11/11 free throws), the best of his career, in 41 minutes. An offensive display that was the best way to celebrate his call as reserve for the All Star and in which I had the collaboration of Tobias Harris (28+5+7) y Kelly Oubre Jr. (16+4+2).
It was the second time that the 1.88m tall and 23 years old of the Sixers reaches the 50-point barrier this season, and he did it after missing three games due to a sprained left ankle. “Blessed da!” he said after the match. “I keep saying that I’m happy to have won.” It wouldn’t have mattered if we lost, but we would have been sad on this long flight to Philadelphia.“.
“We needed this emotionally after ‘Big Fella’s’ injury and the four games we lost on this trip,” he added. “I just wanted to be aggressive. I thought, ‘Man, if I’m going to be here, I have to do everything I can for my teammates.'”explained Maxey, who ended up exhausted after playing 41 minutes in his comeback.

Even his coach, Nick Nurseadmitted that he had to stop the game as long as he could to get some air: “Tyrese played the entire second half and was exhausted. Tobas too. I was burning timeouts whenever I could just to give them a little rest,” he acknowledged.
LAPRESSE
For the Jazzwho suffered their third consecutive defeat, the best were Lauri Markkanen (28+10+3), Collin Sexton (22+1+6), John Collins (15+9+2) y Jordan Clarkson (16+2+10). “We have to pay attention to all the little details,” Markkanen said. “There are little things in the game that we can improve on and we are going to learn from them.”
