Related Topics: Phoenix Suns, Joel Embiid

After a disappointing 2-2 road trip, the Phoenix Suns (39-29, 8th in Western Conference) host the Philadelphia 76ers (38-30, 6th in Eastern Conference) in their final regular season meeting.

Kevin Durant enters tonight needing nine points to pass Shaquille O’Neal for eighth place on the NBA’s all-time scoring list.

Joel Embiid will miss his 23rd consecutive game due to a meniscus injury for Philadelphia tonight. The 76ers are 9-13 so far during this stretch without the reigning MVP. Meanwhile, the Suns are pretty much completely healthy, and Isaiah Thomas will be available to make his debut.
