3 hottest burning questions facing Sixers entering 2022-23 NBA training camp

The Philadelphia 76ers’ 2022-23 NBA season tips off in less than a month. Joel Embiid is out to try again to take home the MVP honors. James Harden will look to bounce back from a disappointing start to his Sixers tenure.

P.J. Tucker and De’Anthony Melton are the best bets to fill the fifth starter spot. The Sixers starting lineup will feature Embiid, Harden, Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris. Danny Green was traded for Green and a first-round draft pick. The competition to be the final starter will be worth keeping an eye on.

Tyrese Maxey is a second-year player for the Philadelphia 76ers. He is expected to be a star in his third season. Maxy should be playing on the bench during the games when the starters rest. He should create more offense for others. The Sixers need to improve their defense. This is the last burning question for them entering the 2022-23 NBA training camp.

James Harden signed a two-year contract with the Sixers. He struggled to score and pass last season. His debut with Sixers was pushed back due to hamstring problems. Harden is an automatic 20-point, 10-assist player. He is the most important playmaker on the team. The days of him scoring 30 points without breaking a sweat are behind him. Embiid can score but Harden has to do his part.
