Just when the Philadelphia 76ers were hoping to get a little healthier with the return of Doc Rivers from the health and safety protocols, they find out mid-game on Wednesday against the Orlando Magic that they will be without one of their young shooters for the rest of the game.
Isaiah Joe knocked down a triple in the first half and he grabbed two rebounds while playing pretty solid defense in the first half, but he also suffered an injury that will hold him out for the rest of the game.
This is a tough blow for Joe as he is continuing to look to earn a spot in the rotation consistently. He was able to make some solid plays in the first half, but he will miss the rest of the game with the Magic due to soreness in the back of his right leg.
For more clarity, it is the back of his right leg
