The Philadelphia 76ers will face their first real test of the season on Thursday when they hit the road to take on the Brooklyn Nets. Unfortunately, they could be heading into the game a bit shorthanded.
Seth Curry, who is shooting a ridiculous 59.5% from deep through the first eight games of the season, is questionable for the game due to a sore left ankle. If Curry can’t give it a go, then the Sixers will need others to step up in his place.
Specifically, a guy like Danny Green will have to give more and he has shot the ball better recently shooting 50% from deep over his previous three games. He will have to find some consistency as the season goes on.

The Sixers will also be missing reserve guard Terrance Ferguson who is known more for his defensive prowess than anything. He will miss the game due to personal reasons which is a big blow to a team still missing Furkan Korkmaz at the moment.

Tipoff at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn is set for 7:30 p.m. EST so the Sixers have until then to figure out what they will do on the floor.
