The Philadelphia 76ers will continue their 3-game road trip on Thursday for the middle game of the trip against the Sacramento Kings. After a blowout loss to the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday, the Sixers will look to bounce back when they take on the lowly Kings at the Golden 1 Center.
The Sixers, however, will continue to be short-handed. Joel Embiid was originally upgraded from out to doubtful against the Kings with hopes he could return, but the latest injury report has the big fella now listed as out. He will miss his 11th straight game due to the right oblique strain. He has not played since Feb. 26 when he led the Sixers to a win over the Miami Heat.
Without Embiid, the challenge will be tough against the Kings. Yes, they have the worst record in the West, but they still have some prideful veterans in the form of Russell Westbrook and DeMar DeRozan. Tip off is set for 10 p.m. EDT on Thursday.
