Here are the three biggest takeaways for the Philadelphia 76ers following their road win over the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday.

The Philadelphia 76ers paid a visit to the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday afternoon looking to begin a 6-game road trip on the right foot. Once again, the Sixers were undermanned as they were missing their Big 3 as well as a slew of role players who are important to what they want to do.

After a seven-game absence due to injury, Mavericks forward P.J. Washington shook off the rust and locked in, scoring 20 points in the first half of the game against the Philadelphia 76ers, including a white-hot first quarter where he scored 14 points on 5-for-6 from the field and 4-for-4 from the free-throw line.

The Mavericks could be at risk of forfeiting games during the final stretch of the regular season because of a growing list of injuries and NBA salary cap rules.

In a nightmare scenario for Dallas Mavericks fans, the team, already plagued with injuries, may lose games without stepping on the court.

A wave of silence typically covers American Airlines Center when a Dallas Mavericks player steps to the free-throw line. That wasn’t the case on several occasions Sunday afternoon during the Mavericks’ 130-125 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.
