Ahead of yet another Sixers back-to-back — they will host the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night without Joel Embiid, Paul George and several others before welcoming the Sacramento Kings to town on Wednesday night — let's get into this week's Sixers mailbag, with questions centered around the team's young depth.

The Philadelphia 76ers stunned the Cleveland Cavaliers in a 132-129 win, defeating the Eastern Conference’s top seed in a rousing home win. All it took was the very best three-point shooting they had to offer.

Wembanyama becomes only the fourth Spurs player to make the All-Star Game in his first or second season. The others: Alvin Robertson in 1986, David Robinson in 1990 and 1991, and Tim Duncan in 1998.

In the meantime, coach Nick Nurse and Co. is working with the likes of young players such as Justin Edwards who has taken advantage of the opportunity in front of him. The undrafted rookie has been a physical presence on the defensive end while being an outlet on the offensive end for easy offense.

George's absence streak will extend to three games Friday due to an extensor tendon injury on his left hand. Justin Edwards will likely continue to start in his absence. George's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Boston.

Anthony Edwards scored 16 of his 36 points in the third quarter and the Minnesota Timberwolves routed the Utah 138-113 on Thursday for their fifth straight victory and second in two nights.
