The Philadelphia 76ers play host to the Toronto Raptors on Friday night before hitting the road for four games. The Sixers are looking for another win before the road trip but will need different reserves to step up on Friday.
The Sixers already knew they would be without Nic Batum (right hamstring strain). Then they learned Mo Bamba will be sidelined due to an illness. De’Anthony Melton (thigh contusion) and Patrick Beverley (right heel soreness) were questionable on the injury report and are not out.
As a result, Marcus Morris Sr. will move into the starting lineup in place of Melton.
De’Anthony Melton and Patrick Beverley are out tonight.
Maxey, Oubre Jr., Harris, Morris Sr., and Embiid are the starters #Sixers

Robert Covington, who was listed as probable after missing a game due to an illness, will play.
The Sixers and the Raptors match up at 7 p.m. EST from the Wells Fargo Center for the third contest between the two teams in the 2023-24 season.
