(AP Photo/Chris Szagola) PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The 76ers need a better plan to win games without Joel Embiid. The NBA MVP is hurting — and Philadelphia suffers just as much when Embiid can’t play because he’s injured. The 76ers are now just 2-6 without Embiid after Lauri Markkanen and Collin Sexton had double-doubles to lead the Utah Jazz to a 120-109 victory on Saturday night. “We have Joel, we know what Joel is going to bring to the table,” Sixers guard Tyrese Maxey said. “Without him, we’ve got to find different ways and different guys have to got to step up, myself included, and help us win games.” Embiid missed the game because of swelling in his left knee. Without an elite rim protector in the lineup, the Jazz scored 72 points in the paint. Markkanen had 33 points and 13 rebounds, and Sexton added 22 points and 10 assists to spark the Jazz to just their sixth road win of the season and fourth win in five games
