The Philadelphia 76ers continue their preseason schedule on Monday at the Cleveland Cavaliers, and they will be down two big men for the matchup.
Joel Embiid did not travel with the team to Cleveland. The big fella is healthy; he’s just taking the night off.
The second missing big man is veteran Montrezl Harrell. The energetic spark plug out of Louisville has been dealing with an intercostal strain and has been listed as day-to-day. He will be out against the Cavs.
#Sixers center Montrezl Harrell (intercostal strain) will not play in tonight’s game against Cavs.

With both Embiid and Harrell out, the attention falls squarely on Paul Reed as he continues his bid to nail down a Sixers rotation spot. He and PJ Tucker figure to get a long look at center in this contest.
The tip from Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse is set for 7 p.m. EDT.
