The Philadelphia 76ers are sitting out the 2025 playoffs after an injury-riddled disaster led to a 24-58 record. The Sixers only saw superstar big man Joel Embiid only play 19 games and their star trio of Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey only played 18 games together–finishing 15 of them.
With that being said, now is the time to check on some former Sixers in this current postseason. This edition takes a turn to the Western Conference where the Los Angeles Clippers evened their Round 1 series with the Denver Nuggets 105-102 on the road.
Kawhi Leonard was fantastic with 39 points on 15-for-19 shooting, but former Sixers star James Harden had a hand in this one. He had 18 points and seven assists and ran the offense well for the Clippers to steal one on the road.

Game 3 of this series is on Thursday as the scene shifts to the Intuit Dome.
