Ahead of yet another Sixers back-to-back — they will host the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night without Joel Embiid, Paul George and several others before welcoming the Sacramento Kings to town on Wednesday night — let's get into this week's Sixers mailbag, with questions centered around the team's young depth.

Health will remain the biggest factor for what happens to this team, both this year and the outlook for the next couple. The Sixers who are able to suit up though, are still giving it their all.

Tyrese Maxey and the 76ers picked the Kings' defense apart, powering them to their fourth consecutive victory.

Edwards finished with three points (1-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three steals and two rebounds over 29 minutes during Saturday's 109-97 victory over Chicago.

The center's contract becomes more of an albatross with every game he misses, every night that he happens to suit up and ends up hobbling from one end of the court to the other.

Maxey scored 43 points for the Sixers, who again played without All-Stars Joel Embiid and Paul George among others.

Last summer, the Philadelphia 76ers signed Paul George in free agency, validating their decision to prioritize cap room during an era in which few stars have changed teams that way. Franchise player Joel Embiid signed a three-year extension and cornerstone Tyrese Maxey signed a five-year max contract.

Here are the three biggest takeaways for the Philadelphia 76ers following their rallying win over the Sacramento Kings at home.

Don’t look now but the Sixers have swept consecutive back-to-backs and tied a season high with their fourth straight win over the Kings Wednesday.
