For the Sixers’ last game of 2021, they’re finishing off a three-game road trip with a challenge. After Joel Embiid scored 36 points and carried them to a win (what’s new?) in their last game against a majorly depleted Raptors team, the Sixers are taking on the 23-9 Brooklyn Nets. A team that, despite dealing with many injuries and COVID-related absences of their own, still has a 23-9 record and sits atop the Eastern Conference.
Day’Ron Sharpe, Kessler Edwards and David Duke Jr. are all out in COVID-19 health and safety protocols for Thursday’s contest.
