GAME PREVIEW
Mar 10, 2020The Philadelphia 76ers will be looking for their league-best 29th victory in 31 home games when they host the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday.Philadelphia continues to be one of the most erratic teams in the league with a 28-2 record at home and 10-24 on the road.The shorthanded Sixers, who are without Joel Embiid (shoulder) and Ben Simmons (back), just completed a 1-3 road trip with losses to the Lakers and Clippers in Los Angeles and Golden State Warriors with a win over the Sacramento Kings sprinkled in.Embiid has missed the past five games, Simmons has been out for the past seven and guard Josh Richardson (concussion) has sat for three straight. Richardson's status is unknown for Wednesday's game.Tobias Harris scored 24 points and Al Horford had 22 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists but the Sixers still couldn't oust the depleted Warriors last Saturday, losing 118-114. But the Sixers will now be playing at home, where they're nearly unbeatable."I mean, at this point in the season, when you see that there's fewer and fewer games, you have to handle business," Horford told Inquirer.com. "What's most frustrating about this one (loss to Warriors) was that we were in control most of the game. It's dangerous when you kind of let a team keep hanging and hanging." Beginning Wednesday, the Sixers will play five of their next six games at home, yet they're still reeling from the distasteful loss to the Warriors, who have the league's worst record."No one is going to punt it around and not treat it as a way to not admit stuff and get better," Sixers head coach Brett Brown said. "But it would've been great to win and then go home." The struggling Pistons will be hoping to avoid a fifth consecutive loss. They're only 9-23 on the road this season.Detroit's most recent loss was especially troubling, 96-84 to the Knicks in New York on Sunday. The Pistons missed 15 of 19 shots in the fourth quarter."It was a one-point game going into the fourth quarter and we just couldn't get anything going," Pistons head coach Dwane Casey said. "The ball just stuck and everybody that caught it, held it, and you're not going to produce very many points doing that." Christian Wood, a former Sixer, led the Pistons with 22 points and eight rebounds while Bruce Brown scored 16 points. With a season-worst 13 points in the fourth quarter, the Pistons' skid was extended. Overall, they have dropped 11 of 12 since the All-Star break.Like the Sixers, the Pistons have been besieged by injuries this season. The latest player afflicted is John Henson, who left in the fourth quarter against the Knicks with a sore left ankle.Blake Griffin is out for the season with a knee injury and Andre Drummond was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers last month."It changed the whole outlook," Casey told the Detroit News. "But it's the direction we have to go -- to retool, to rebuild, to develop the young guys. It's not fun. It's painful. It's stressful. As a coach, you want to go out there and win every game. But at the end of the night, after you get the frustration out of your system, reality sets in and you understand what you're fighting with." --Field Level Media

GAME RECAP
Mar 11, 2020PHILADELPHIA Joel Embiid swished a 3 from the top of the arc and stretched his arms toward a wildly cheering crowd.The roar of the fans in another 76ers' victory has been muted, and the NBA is on hold after it suspended its season ''until further notice'' after a Utah Jazz player tested positive Wednesday for the coronavirus.''It's important that the fans, players, coaching staff, our staff here at the Sixers remain healthy and we do everything we can,'' 76ers general manager Elton Brand said. ''But we believe in the leadership of the league.'' Embiid had 30 points and 14 rebounds in his return from a sprained left shoulder, leading the Philadelphia 76ers to a 124-106 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night.The players had just hit the locker room when news of the suspended season broke and they were not made available to the media.Coach Brett Brown defended the decision to play the game -- the 76ers announced a sellout crowd of 20,172 - in the wake of the virus that has spoiled sports around the globe.''The instruction was to come in and play the game,'' Brown said. ''If you look at the proactive measures our club has taken, and that the league has taken, I think they should be applauded. It's a sensative issue, obviously. It must be a very serious situation for the league to make the decision that they have made. We look forward to learning more over the next few hours, really.'' The NBA's break made Embiid's return from a five-game absence an afterthought for the Sixers.All-Star guard Ben Simmons will miss at least three more weeks with nerve issues in his lower back. Former Sixers star, and current Miami Heat guard, Jimmy Butler popped off at Brown on a podcast and criticized the way the Sixers coach used him in the postseason. And, the Sixers and Pistons played in front the last game with fans at the Wells Fargo Center for an undetermined time.Brown didn't need a quiet arena to hear the reverberation throughout Philly when Butler went on former Sixers teammate JJ Redick's podcast and ripped his coaching style. Butler, who played the final 55 games of last season with the Sixers, said, ''On any given day, me as a person, as a player, I didn't know who the (expletive) was in charge. I think that was my biggest thing.'' Butler said players watched film sessions in silence and became peeved when he said he learned the organization wanted Brown to ''control'' the All-Star guard. Butler decided not to return to the Sixers and landed in Miami on a sign-and-trade deal.''I heard about, I understand what he's saying,'' Brown said. ''I have not listened to it and I doubt I will.'' Simmons missed his eighth straight game and will continue to undergo daily treatment for his nerve impingement. He is gradually increasing the activities in his strength and conditioning program and there's a shot the 23-year-old Simmons is back for the playoffs, should they resume.''There's no timeline on it,'' Simmons said before the game. ''Whenever I'm back, I'm back. Whenever I'm 100 percent, I'm coming back. I'm not here to sit and just wait. When I'm healthy, I'll be playing.'' Simmons said he feels no pain in his back and hasn't considered surgery if there's not much more improvement.''To know where I am compared to two weeks ago, I feel much, much better,'' Simmons said. ''I'm very confident.'' So that left Embiid to raise the spirits of maybe 15,000 fans at the Wells Fargo Center, a night after the NHL's Flyers hit 19,000 in the same arena. The Sixers averaged 20,643 this season, and the priciest tickets in town dipped faster than Detroit's shooting percentage. StubHub had tickets for sale on the lower baseline at $15 a pop and seats in one club box were going for $20. That's hundreds less than usual secondary markup.TIP-INSPistons: Pistons coach Dwane Casey on how he might change his approaching coaching in an empty arena: ''Probably cuss less.'' ... Christian Wood led the Pistons with 32 points.76ers: G Josh Richardson also returned to the lineup after he missed three games while in the concussion protocol. ... The fans who did show - including director M. Night Shyamalan and Food Network celebrity Guy Fieri - saw the Sixers improve to a stunning 29-2 at home.NO SHOWSThe NHL's Flyers offered refunds and ticket exchanges to any fans who did not attend Tuesday's game because of health concerns. Comcast Spectacor declined to say how many fans took them up on the offer. The Sixers said of Wednesday's ticket holders: ''We will manage on a case-by-case basis and work closely with our fans toward finding another game for them to attend in the future.'' ---More NBA: https://apnews.com/NBA and https://twitter.com/-Sports
