Well, as the game was playing out, and the Sixers were at least at the time in it,

ESPN decides to drop a little news, big news, on the audience of the broadcast.

And that is with Joel Embed possibly needing another surgery to fix that knee.

We'll talk about all of that in the midst of the Sixth's third consecutive loss of the season as they fall to the Bucks 135-127. Welcome to the PHLY Sixers pregame show presented by Bet365.

Derek Bodner, Kyle Newbeck, Devon, Givens, Brianna, all of you in the chat as we hang out with you to talk about this news, the latest news, the game. We'll get to the player of the game as well.

And we'll give our thoughts about the big game that is happening in just about two hours in

New Orleans.

Do you mean that wasn't the big game, Devon?

Unfortunately, no.

We thought it was maybe a big game for the big game.

Fortunately, no, it wasn't the big game.

Very fortunately, no.

Yeah, so there's that.

But Lisa Salisage dropped some news as the Sixers were in the midst of the first half playing decent basketball.

Joel and B. Tarias Maxis, Derek pointed out, playing solid hoops at the moment, at that moment.

But then she also talked about how, yeah, Joel and B. might need a surgery and rest to get his knee back to be able to get back to who he needs to be on the floor for this team to succeed.

We are at game number 52 on the campaign, Kyle, and we find this news out on February 9th.

Okay.

So for anybody who's coming into this blind, right, who had the sanity, the wherewithal to say,

no, you know what, I'm not going to let this team ruin my Sunday.

I'm not going to watch this game.

So, but now is stumbling in.
