Early indications point to the acquisition of Grimes as a success. Time will tell about Lonnie Walker IV. Meanwhile, Jared Butler has not appeared to work out as the team had hoped.

The Sixers traveled to Boston to face the defending champions, who were short-handed on the second night of a back-to-back. With Jayson Tatum, Derrick White and Payton Pritchard available, the Celtics had more than enough to easily handle a Sixers team missing Tyrese Maxey (back) and Paul George (groin) on top of Joel Embiid and many other critical pieces.

The 76ers made significant moves ahead of the trade deadline to build a younger, more athletic roster, acquiring Quentin Grimes and Jared Butler, and later signing Lonnie Walker IV.

Sixers rookie Adem Bona has made use of time out of the rotation by getting to know his new teammates on and off the floor.

Quentin Grimes, Jared Butler, and Lonnie Walker IV have valuable roles to play for the team and themselves as the season winds down.

What started as a championship-chasing season in the summer will end up in the lottery for the Philadelphia 76ers. Despite everything the team has endured, Philly fans have plenty of reasons to be happy about this season.

The 76ers are a team in trouble. They trailed by 50 points in the fourth quarter in a loss to the Chicago Bulls.

Two nights after snapping a nine-game losing streak with a thrilling victory, the undermanned Sixers crashed again.
