As the Philadelphia 76ers return home on Wednesday to host the Los Angeles Clippers, they will look to get back on track after a 1-3 West Coast road trip.
The only win on this trip was against the Clippers, so the Sixers will look to pick up another win against them and sweep the season series.
Philadelphia will once again be shorthanded with Joel Embiid (left knee meniscus procedure), De’Anthony Melton (lumbar spine bone stress) and Robert Covington (left knee bone bruise). The Sixers will look to get them back on the field soon.
Kelly Oubre Jr. is listed as questionable due to right shoulder soreness. He missed Monday’s loss to the Sacramento Kings because of the injury.
Buddy Hield, who left late for Sacramento due to ankle problemnot listed on the injury report.
Tomorrow’s injury report against the Clippers:
OUT: Joel Embiid (left knee meniscus procedure), De’Anthony Melton (lumbar spine bone stress), Robert Covington (left knee bone bruise)
QUESTIONABLE: Kelly Oubre Jr. (right shoulder pain)
Buddy Hield is not listed #Sixers

If Oubre can’t go, the Sixers will likely turn again to Nic Batum to start in his place. Philadelphia will need Tobias Harris to have the same success he had against Los Angeles on Sunday to qualify for this contest.
The Wells Fargo Center tipoff is scheduled for Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. EDT.
