The Philadelphia 76ers entered Monday night’s matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers severely shorthanded. They are still missing Ben Simmons as he continues to work on himself, they did not have Joel Embiid as he took a night off to rest, and they then lost Tobias Harris shortly before tipoff as he entered the health and safety protocols.
Now, they will be down another starter as they look to finish off the Blazers on Monday.
Veteran Danny Green headed to the locker room in the third quarter and it was announced shortly after that he would not return in this one. The team’s sharpshooter was diagnosed with left hamstring tightness and he will not return in this one.
