Coming on the back of an embarrassing loss against the Celtics, the Sixers went down to the Nets 105-103. The loss pushed them to the 12th spot in the East, taking their tally to 20-36.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The 76ers had both their superstars, Paul George and Joel Embiid in action. However, they failed to perform yet again, <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/joel-embiid-to-undergo-another-knee-surgery-76ers-star-addresses-constant-struggles-even-after-missing-15-games\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>leaving fans extremely disappointed<\/a>. While Paul finished with 15 points, Embiid managed to score only 14 points. <\/p><p>Though the series of losses brought the 76ers under scrutiny, George had a piece of advice for his teammate. After the game, the nine-time All-Star was asked about a few suggestions that he would give to a struggling Embiid from his own experience. The 34-year-old didn&rsquo;t beat around the bush and recalled his own recovery, stating that &lsquo;Drugs helped&rsquo; him.&nbsp;<\/p><p>A reporter asked, <em>&ldquo;Paul you&rsquo;ve had to come back from multiple serious injuries, Joel is obviously struggling with multiple parts of his comeback. Is there anything from your experience you think you can pass on to try to help him?&rdquo;<\/em><\/p><p>The 2016 Olympics gold medallist replied, <em>&ldquo;Drugs helped me. That&rsquo;s what&rsquo;s kind of getting me over the hump.&rdquo;<\/em><\/p><p>He went on to say that the best thing that worked for him was going through it, eventually helping the body get used to the physical strain.&nbsp;<\/p><p><em>&ldquo;But I mean I get it, especially for how big he is, the size he is, and how he plays. I know it takes a toll on him. I think the best thing for it is reps.
