The Philadelphia 76ers will travel to the Paycom Center on Saturday to take on the Oklahoma City Thunder looking to put a halt to their current two-game losing skid.
The Sixers dropped their last game to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday with Joel Embiid out due to left hip soreness. In his place, the Sixers started Marcus Morris Sr., and while Morris Sr. was helpful, he wasn’t able to match up with Minnesota’s big men in the paint.
For the contest with the Thunder, Embiid is listed as probable with that same left hip soreness injury. Kelly Oubre Jr. remains out with the rib fracture suffered when he was struck by a vehicle back on Nov. 11.

If Embiid can return to the lineup, that would be a big help as the Thunder had some size of their own. Chet Holmgren and Jaylin Williams will factor into whatever Oklahoma City wants to do in this matchup.
Tip-off between the Sixers and the Thunder is set for 5 p.m. EST on Saturday.
