The Philadelphia 76ers travel to northern California on Monday to take on the Sacramento Kings for the fifth game of this long 6-game road trip and they will still be shorthanded. While they will certainly be without Joel Embiid and Danny Green, they might now be down another starter.
Tobias Harris, who just recently returned from a bout with COVID-19, is reportedly not expected to play in the game on Monday. Harris is averaging 20.6 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 4.1 assists while shooting 50% from the floor so if he can’t go on Monday, the Sixers will need yet another player to step up and provide production for a shorthanded group.

The Sixers are off to a tough 1-3 start on this road trip where they have been shorthanded for the entirety of it. They have not had Embiid since Nov. 6 against the Chicago Bulls and Green has been in and out of the lineup due to left hamstring tightness. If they won’t have Harris against the Kings, that just makes life that much tougher.
