The Philadelphia 76ers will begin a 4-game west coast road trip on Wednesday that will serve as a good test for them to prepare for the playoffs. The Sixers currently sit in sixth place in the East, just above the play-in tournament and need a good road trip to solidify their positioning.
First on the trip are the Phoenix Suns led by the explosive scoring trio of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal. The Sixers will continue to be without Joel Embiid (left knee meniscus procedure), De’Anthony Melton (lumbar spine bone stress) and Robert Covington (left knee bone bruise) for this game.
As for Tobias Harris, who missed Philadelphia’s previous two victories due to a sprained right ankle, he is listed as questionable for the competition. The Sixers will look to others to continue to step up if he can’t go.
Tomorrow’s injury report against the Suns:
OUT: Joel Embiid (left knee meniscus procedure), De’Anthony Melton (lumbar spine bone stress) and Robert Covington (left knee bone bruise)
QUESTIONABLE: Tobias Harris (sprained right ankle) #Sixers
