The Philadelphia 76ers have one more game to go in the summer league out in Las Vegas on Tuesday against the Utah Jazz and they will have to play it without one of their second-year leaders.
Guard Isaiah Joe, who took on the responsibility as a ball-handler without Tyrese Maxey, left Sunday’s loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves with a left knee injury as it looked like a tough injury for him. He was on the floor for a little bit and he then limped off the floor into the locker room.
The Sixers then announced on Monday that Joe has suffered a mild left MCL sprain and that he will miss Tuesday’s game against the Jazz. He will be re-evaluated back in Philadelphia.
Rookie big man Filip Petrusev has also left the summer league to prepare for the 2021-22 season in Europe.

The Sixers are 2-2 so far in the summer league dropping two in a row after winning the first two with Maxey leading the way. They will now have to try and finish strong on Tuesday before returning to Philadelphia.
