Losses keep mounting as Sixers embarrassed by lowly Pelicans

Even if Joel Embiid does return for their next game, it’s time to raise some alarm bells.

The Sixers lost their fourth game in a row, embarrassingly falling 126-111 to the New Orleans Pelicans Saturday night.

Tyrese Maxey again ended up with game-high 27 despite a crooked shooting night, going 9-of-23 from the floor along with seven assists.VJ Edgecombe put up 14 points and five rebounds on 5-of-14 shooting off a strong first half.

Kelly Oubre Jr. had a solid scoring night in his home state, finishing with 25 points shooting 7-of-15 from the floor while Zion Williamson led New Orleans with 21.

Embiid (shin soreness) missed his fourth straight game while the Pelicans were down Trey Murphy III and Yves Missi.

Here are some thoughts at the buzzer.
