The Philadelphia 76ers played without their All-Star trio of Joel Embiid, Paul George and Tyrese Maxey in a loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night. Kyle Lowry, Caleb Martin, KJ Martin, Andre Drummond and Jared McCain also did not play for the Sixers.

After losing five of their last seven, the Sixers could use a victory against anyone. Oklahoma City stands atop the Western Conference at 32-6 and New York is 26-15.

The one advantage the Sixers would have in trade negotiations with the Thunder is that if that pick isn’t conveyed to Oklahoma City, it loses its value, so Martin at least gives them something.

The 76ers are running out of time to build chemistry.

The team will return backup center Andre Drummond, who missed 10 of the past 12 games due to a sprained left toe.

The freefalling 76ers are looking for rock bottom, and they hope to have found it on the defensive end in Denver on Tuesday.
