The Sixers are set to face off against the Brooklyn Nets, including Ben Simmons who was traded just nine months ago in a blockbuster deal for James Harden.
This has been a game circled on many people’s calendars since the schedule was announced. Unfortunately, it won’t quite be what many anticipated as the Sixers’ injury report is quite long.
The Sixers will be without three of their starting five. James Harden, Tyrese Maxey, and Joel Embiid, who suffered a left mid-foot sprain in the Timberwolves game, are all out. The Sixers announced that they’ll be without Embiid for this back-to-back against the Nets and Charlotte Hornets.
