The Philadelphia 76ers have played 80 games in the 2022-23 season. With two games left and nothing to play for, it is time to rest players ahead of the playoffs.
The Sixers are locked into the playoffs’ No. 3 seed and the focus is on staying healthy. Their matchup with the Atlanta Hawks on Friday doesn’t mean anything to them.
Joel Embiid is not even traveling with the team. He is listed as out due to left calf tightness. James Harden, Tyrese Maxey and PJ Tucker are listed as out for the contest as well. Harden is out due to left Achilles injury recovery, Maxey has neck stiffness, and Tucker has right calf tightness.
Tobias Harris and Jaden Springer are listed as questionable. Harris is dealing with a left hip issue, while Springer is dealing with a right ankle sprain. De’Anthony Melton is doubtful with right calf tightness after he left Thursday’s loss to the Miami Heat with the injury.
