On Saturday, Joel Embiid dropped 30 points, 12 rebounds and two blocks in just 22 minutes as the Sixers rolled past the injury-riddled Grizzlies 116-96. Having the chance to lower the minutes of all their key players and rest their starters in the fourth quarter was ideal for the Sixers, as they’re getting no break this weekend. On Sunday, they head to San Antonio to face the Spurs.
Tobias Harris missed his second straight game with a left knee contusion on Saturday and Mo Bamba was out due to illness, along with De’Anthony Melton and Robert Covington remaining out.
