The Philadelphia 76ers will begin a 5-game road trip on Thursday when they pay a visit to the Indiana Pacers. They will be a bit short-handed to begin the trip missing a starter and other key pieces.
De’Anthony Melton remains out with lumbar spine stress response. He will be re-evaluated in a week as Philadelphia looks to make sure he is right for the future.
Robert Covington remains out for this contest due to a left knee bone bruise and will be re-evaluated in 3-to-4 weeks. Mo Bamba is also out due to right knee inflammation.
Tobias Harris is also on the injury report for this one. He is listed as questionable against the Pacers due to an illness. Marcus Morris Sr. (left foot plantar fasciitis) and Jaden Springer (right ankle tendinitis) are listed as probable.

With Melton already out, the Sixers are relying on Kelly Oubre Jr. to do more on the floor. With Harris still questionable, and Morris probable, one as to assume the Sixers would turn to Morris in place of Harris if he’s available and Harris isn’t.
Tip off from the Gainbridge Fieldhouse is set for 7 p.m. EST on Thursday.
