The Orlando Magic faced a tough challenge after trailing by 13 points in the first quarter against the Philadelphia 76ers. Despite a strong effort in the fourth quarter, they were unable to overcome the deficit and secure a win. Head coach Jamahl Mosley emphasized the need for better starts in future games. Joel Embiid had an impressive performance in the first half but suffered a potential injury to his left knee.

“We just need one win and we're good,” Wagner said. “One more game and we have to focus on that one and get a win.”

“We have to start the games better,” Orlando head coach Jamahl Mosley said. “You can't give up 40 points in the first quarter and crawl your way out. The energy and effort was there on the back stretch, but you can't give 40 points and slow starts to get the game going and keep climbing up the hill all night.”

While play continued, Embiid limped to midcourt and gave up on the play. After Philadelphia head coach“We had to try to keep playing and finish off the half, which we did,” Maxey said. “We got back here to see if he was alright, and it was a blessing. He was good to go.”“They assessed him at halftime and there was no swelling and no damage,” Philadelphia head coach

Maxey picked up some of the offensive slack for the Sixers in the second half, scoring 11 in the fourth quarter while Embiid spent most of the final session on the bench.
