The month since the Sixers pivoted to ducking the luxury tax and resetting in advance of next season has largely been upsetting for most fans. Joel Embiid was shut down for the season, Paul George and Tyrese Maxey have grappled with their own injury-related issues and losses have piled up.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Julius Randle is good to go and starting Tuesday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers at Target Center in Minneapolis despite being listed as questionable for the game due to a groin injury.

Quentin Grimes stepped up and scored like a star Tuesday night. Unfortunately for the injury-riddled Sixers, that wasn’t enough to beat the Timberwolves. The Sixers wrapped up an 0-2 back-to-back by falling to a 126-112 loss in Minnesota.

Quentin Grimes recorded his third 30-plus-point game as a Sixer but it wasn’t enough as Philly couldn’t match the Timberwolves’ firepower.

Anthony Edwards scored 18 points, Naz Reid added 23 and the Minnesota Timberwolves pulled away in the fourth quarter to beat the short-handed Philadelphia 76ers 126-112 on Tuesday. Julius Randle had 16 points for Minnesota in his second game back after missing 13 games with a groin strain.
