The 76ers won’t have an NBA All-Star for the first time in eight seasons. Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey were not among the players named as Eastern Conference All-Star reserves Thursday on TNT’s NBA Tip-Off show.

The 76ers will be in front of their home fans on Wednesday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-court advantage. Having just played yesterday, they will get right back to it and host the Sacramento Kings at 7:30 p.m. ET at Wells Fargo Center. The 76ers are coming into the contest hot, having won their last three games.
