The Philadelphia 76ers look to finish their four-game West Coast road trip on a high note on Monday when they take on the Sacramento Kings. If Philadelphia wins, it will go 2-2 on the trip, which is impressive considering the opponents and the adversity.
Once again, the Sixers will be without the services of Joel Embiid (left knee meniscus), De’Anthony Melton (lumbar spine bone stress) and Robert Covington (left knee bone bruise). Kyle Lowry, who missed the win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday, is not listed on the injury report.
Kelly Oubre Jr. will join the injury report as he is listed as questionable due to left shoulder soreness.
Injury report for tonight in Sacramento:
OUT: Joel Embiid (left knee meniscus procedure), De’Anthony Melton (lumbar spine bone stress), Robert Covington (left knee bone bruise)
QUESTIONABLE: Kelly Oubre Jr. (left shoulder soreness) #Sixers

If Oubre can’t go, then one has to assume that the Sixers will turn to Nic Batum or Cam Payne. Batum did not play against the Clippers on Sunday while Payne has given Philadelphia a big boost.
Tipoff with the Kings is set for 10 p.m. EDT on Monday.
