Sixers say Isaiah Joe left summer league loss with left knee injury
The Philadelphia 76ers were in the middle of a tough summer league battle with the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday out in Las Vegas when they had to hold their collective breaths a bit.
Second-year guard Isaiah Joe took a tumble when driving to the basket in the fourth quarter and he remained on the floor for a little while before getting up on his own power. He eventually ended up limping back to the locker room as it was obvious that he was in pain.
After the Sixers ended up losing to Minnesota 99-96 in overtime, the Sixers announced that Joe ended up leaving with a left knee injury. There will be more info on him when appropriate.

“I know they took him back and just put some ice on it and stuff,” said summer league coach Brian Adams. “He’ll be re-evaluated.”
The Sixers will have a consolation game on Tuesday to finish up the summer league in a game that is yet to be scheduled. Joe will probably not play in that game as there is not really a reason for him to push anything.
