The Philadelphia 76ers will continue their road trip on Friday when they take on the Golden State Warriors in the Bay Area for the second of this four-game trip. They are dealing with recent injury issues to some key players that are worth monitoring for this team’s playoff chances.
Joel Embiid left Wednesday’s 116-91 win over the Chicago Bulls due to mild right calf tightness at halftime. The Sixers didn’t need him much because they were up big on the Bulls, but the ailment caused concern due to how important the big fella is to the Sixers.
The Sixers were already missing James Harden for that matchup due to left Achilles soreness and Jalen McDaniels due to a right hip issue. For the matchup with the Warriors, Embiid, Harden and McDaniels are listed as questionable. Coach Doc Rivers mentioned he expects Harden to return for this matchup with Golden State.

The Sixers have shown all season they are a resilient bunch able to overcome significant adversity. They have won plenty of games while being short-handed and this is something that will have to continue.
Tipoff from the Chase Center on Friday is set for 10 p.m. EDT.
