The Philadelphia 76ers will get back at it on Thursday when they take on the New York Knicks at home. Philadelphia is fifth in the Eastern Conference coming out of the All-Star break, a half game behind the Knicks.
The Sixers continue to be short-handed. Joel Embiid (left knee meniscus procedure), De’Anthony Melton (lumbar spine stress response) and Robert Covington (left knee bone bruise) are out.
Embiid will be reevaluated in early March. Melton was at practice on Wednesday, but he will remain out and hasn’t remained out since Jan. 12. Covington hasn’t played since Dec. 30.
Nic Batum is listed as questionable due to a left hamstring strain. He hasn’t played since Jan. 29.
Tobias Harris, who missed the final two games before the All-Star break due to a left hip impingement, is not listed on the injury report.
