10. Players getting — and staying — healthy
It seems like all year long the Sixers have been playing with only nine players every night. Last night, they only had eight available against the Heat. Malcolm Thomas was just re-signed after being released about a little over a month ago so he could rehab, Tony Wroten is having some troublesome knee problems, Furkan Aldemir already has foot problems, Nerlens and Hollis are experiencing constant aches and pains and Pierre Jackson is currently rehabbing that Achilles he tore in Summer League (he’ll be back soon enough). Oh yeah, and there is JoJo, but that is to be more expected with the degree of his injury. Sixers would be much better off if they had, say… 12 healthy bodies a night instead of just eight or nine.
