MILWAUKEE — The Philadelphia 76ers are dealing with injuries to several key players and it goes far beyond star center Joel Embiid, who has played in only 13 games this season and skipped the team's current trip with swelling in his left knee. Philadelphia had eight players listed on its injury report for Sunday night's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. In Saturday night's loss to the Indiana Pacers, the 76ers played without five crucial players — including Embiid, Paul George and Kyle Lowry. That left Tyrese Maxey to handle much of the load.
