The 76ers are on the 2025-26 Playoff cusp, as they aim to return to the postseason after missing it last season.
Will the 76ers make the playoffs?
As of early March their record is 34-29. The 76ers currently hold the 8th spot in the Eastern Conference.
The top six teams in the Eastern Conference are guaranteed a playoff spot.
Three of the starting five players for the 76ers are currently dealing with injuries.
With just 20 games remaining in the regular season, and the Magic and Heat not too far ahead while the Hawks are barely trailing behind, every win and loss counts.
Key Injuries Affecting 76ers' Late in the Regular Season
The 2023 MVP and 7-time All-Star Joel Embiid is no stranger to facing injuries.
He is the focal point of the 76ers but has been sidelined since February 26th due to a right oblique strain during a win over the Miami Heat.
Tyrese Maxey is the leading scorer for the 76ers, he averages around 31.0 points per game.
Maxey suffered a right finger sprain in Saturday's loss to Atlanta and will miss a minimum of two games.
The third overall pick of the 2025 NBA Draft was VJ Edgecombe, a rising star for the 76ers.
He is ranked among the top three in scoring and assists for the 2025-26 rookie class as of early March 2026.
As the regular season is coming to an end, it is even more important for the 76ers to have their players healthy.
There is no specific date for the return of Embiid, Maxey, or Edgecombe, but these mild injuries are expected to result in a quick comeback.
