The East being bad probably means they won't. Can talk themselves into making a deep run via the play-in if fully healthy. If theyre within few games of 10th seed they'll stay competing.
Though, if one of the stars - incl. Yabu - goes out for > 1.5 months I'd imagine they'd call it a season.

How Justin Edwards played himself into the Sixers’ rotation in just two games
There’s no Jalen he can’t guard and nothing the defense can give him that he won’t take.

Really excited to see how the rest of his season plays out with this squad.
Another feather in the one hat Philly can proudly wear this year: finding great players that other franchises passed on: Jared McCain, Guerschon Yabusele, and now Justin Edwards.

One nitpick on his defense: He over-anticipates on screens and off-ball.
In the first two clips below, he steps into the screen before he has to, giving up a lane to the rim.
In the others, he steps into passing lanes before he has to, giving up cuts and open threes.

That size and speed is effective on defense too.
Nurse deployed him against Jalen Williams and Jalen Brunson.
Edwards gets those feet moving and hips swinging, allowing him to stay in front of the shifty and nifty Jalens.
He guides attackers into his chest and is disciplined, keeping his arms up

Because they respect his three-pointer (37% season, 6/13 over the last two games), defenders close out hard on him.
He is great at attacking those closeouts and getting the ball moving, putting his team at an offensive advantage.
And, when he has to, he uses his 6-foot-6 frame to shoot or finish.

Here's the whole breakdown of their offense.
New @libertyballers.bsky.social:
In their last three games, the Sixers have shown the good, bad, and the ugly their offense is capable of.
With a brutal schedule incoming, they must ensure it's far more good than bad and ugly.
Here's how they can do that.

Sixers must avoid their stagnant offensive tendencies as brutal January schedule looms
As a season defining 10 days approaches, we must hope that what happened in Sacramento stays in Sacramento.

Here's the whole breakdown of their offense.
And the stretch to end the first half of the Brooklyn Blowout was noice.
Embiid playmaking from paint for a Caleb Dunk, setting a highball screen for a PG three, and an off-ball low screen for a PG middy.
Hoop gods rewarded them with that Maxey Embiid two-man sequence (ball bounced off BKN foot)
