The Philadelphia 76ers return home for the final three games of the 2023-24 season looking to climb out of the play-in tournament. The Sixers have won five in a row and are a game behind the sixth-place Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference.
The Sixers will host the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday and look to take advantage of a struggling basketball team.
On the injury report, Robert Covington remains out due to a left knee bone bruise.
De’Anthony Melton (lumbar spine bone stress) had not played since Feb. 27, but he has been upgraded to questionable against the Pistons. His return would be a big help to Philadelphia.
Joel Embiid (left knee injury recovery), Tyrese Maxey (left hip tightness), Tobias Harris (left knee contusion) and Kyle Lowry (left knee effusion) also join Melton under the questionable tag against the Pistons.
Injury report vs. Pistons:
OUT: Robert Covington
QUESTIONABLE: De’Anthony Melton (lumbar spine bone stress), Joel Embiid (left knee injury recovery), Kyle Lowry (left knee effusion), Tyrese Maxey (left hip tightness), Tobias Harris (left knee contusion) #Sixers
