Tyrese Maxey returns, but the Philadelphia 76ers fall to the New York Knicks at home as the long streak continues.

Despite most — this beat writer included — assuming that the Sixers would have their doors blown off by the NBA's best team defense and individual scorer, the nine players donning red, white and blue played with absolutely no expectation that they were going to be on the wrong end of a blowout.

Edwards (left ankle sprain) and Maxey were both added in the afternoon after participating in shootaround. Edwards, the Imhotep Charter product, was good to go. George, who has dealt with issues in his left knee and tightness in his left groin before adding the ankle to his bingo card, was listed as probable. Martin had been questionable.
