Facing elimination once again, the Philadelphia 76ers are back at home on Thursday to play host to the New York Knicks. The Sixers were able to come up with an impressive win in Game 5 to stave off elimination and will have to do so again in Game 6.
The injury report for the Sixers remains the same. Robert Covington (left knee bone bruise) is out again. Coach Nick Nurse mentioned toward the end of the regular season that Covington will not return.
Joel Embiid (left knee injury recovery) also remains questionable for this contest. He has been questionable for every game in this series, but he has also played in every game. One has to assume he will also play in this one with so much riding on it.
Injury report for Game 6 vs. Knicks:
