The Philadelphia 76ers will already be without Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, De’Anthony Melton, and Robert Covington for tonight’s 7:00pm tip against the Pelicans. Philadelphia’s record is 9-19 without Embiid, dropping to 0-6 without both Joel and Maxey. So they certainly can’t afford anyone else to hit the shelf, but that might be the case tonight.
The Sixers have listed Nic Batum as questionable for tonight’s game due to foot soreness. Batum, who has started in 30 of his 39 games as a member of the Sixers, has appeared in the last eight games (one for three seconds as an in-bounder), after missing nine straight across the end of January and first half of February due to a strained hamstring.
