The Philadelphia 76ers finish this two-game road trip on Easter Sunday with a visit to the Toronto Raptors. The Sixers need a win in the worst way, and the Raptors offer a great chance. They have lost 12 games in a row.
Once again, the Sixers will be short-handed. Joel Embiid (left knee meniscus), who made the trip with the team, is ruled out. The big fella is not quite ready to return, but the fact he traveled on this trip is a good sign.
The Sixers will also be without De’Anthony Melton (lumbar spine bone stress) and Robert Covington (left knee bone bruise). Melton hasn’t played since Feb. 27 and Covington hasn’t played since Dec. 30.
Injury report for tomorrow in Toronto:
OUT: Joel Embiid (left knee meniscus procedure), De’Anthony Melton (lumbar spine bone stress), Robert Covington (left knee bone bruise) #Sixers

The Sixers look to sweep the four-game season series from the Raptors when they tip off at 6 p.m. EDT from Scotiabank Arena in Toronto.
