The Philadelphia 76ers will return home on Monday to face the Atlanta Hawks and they will be dealing with some injury issues. Not only will they be without All-Star point guard Ben Simmons, but they could be without another starter as well.
Tobias Harris suffered a right knee contusion in Saturday’s loss to the Milwaukee Bucks and he is listed as doubtful for Monday’s matchup. Harris is averaging 18.9 points and 6.8 rebounds on the season.
Philadelphia is at a point where they are trying to nail down a consistent rotation for the playoffs that start in just about seven weeks and these injuries are really causing some issues. Coach Brett Brown is not going to be able to make anything concrete or consistent until everybody is healthy.

In Harris’ place, the Sixers could turn to Shake Milton or Matisse Thybulle to provide some good production.
While the Sixers should absolutely beat the Hawks despite being possibly down a couple of starters, it will not be an easy matchup as they try and hold down Atlanta All-Star Trae Young. [lawrence-related id=26334,26318,26311]
