The Philadelphia 76ers are in The Bay Area on Friday when they take on the Golden State Warriors to continue their four-game road trip. They were able to beat the Chicago Bulls handily to begin the trip and they are looking to continue their winning ways.
They will have to do so short-handed on Friday as they will once again be without star point guard James Harden due to left Achilles soreness and Jalen McDaniels due to right hip soreness. This will be the second straight missed game for Harden while this will be the fourth missed game out of the last six for McDaniels with the injury.
March 24 at Golden State:
Harden – left Achilles soreness – out
McDaniels – right hip soreness – out

After they face the Warriors on Friday, the Sixers will have two games left on the trip. They will head to Phoenix to take on the Suns on Saturday and they will face the Denver Nuggets on Monday before returning home. Time will tell if Harden or McDaniels will be able to return for those contests.
As for Joel Embiid’s status, it sounds like he is ready to go.
James Harden is out tonight against the Warriors. Doc Rivers said Joel Embiid is "fine". Sounds like he's cleared to play.
