Rather than spending assets on win-now pieces to salvage their lost season at the NBA trade deadline, the Sixers instead pivoted into more of a youth movement.

No matter what the Sixers’ roster looks like following Thursday’s NBA trade deadline, Wednesday night’s 108-101 loss to the Miami Heat — a team embroiled in a weeks-long standoff with its now-former star — may have revealed an important area the Sixers need to improve upon after the forthcoming NBA All-Star break: A culture of resilience.

The Timberwolves have begun to perk up a bit and are close to catching the Clippers in the standings for the No. 6 seed. Anthony Edwards continues to mature as a superstar in this league and will look to lead Minnesota back into the playoffs and get the Wolves moving up into the top 6 and out of the play-in tournament.

The game is scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. EST and will be broadcast on ESPN and ESPN Deportes.
