In the second half, the Sixers showed signs of the team they were supposed to be without Joel Embiid. But their dreadful first half sunk them to 15-24.

The 76ers will remain a shell of themselves when they face the New York Knicks Wednesday night at the Wells Fargo Center. Joel Embiid, who has been struggling with a sprained left foot, is one of six Sixers who will remain sidelined.

The Sixers used a huge third quarter to get themselves back into the game and force overtime but couldn’t come up with enough plays in OT to beat the Knicks Wednesday.
