The Philadelphia 76ers are officially getting back at it on Saturday and they will be taking on the Indiana Pacers in a big matchup for them. The Sixers and the Pacers are currently tied for the 5 seed in the East, but Philadelphia is sitting at the 6 seed as the Pacers have the tiebreaker.
Philadelphia was dealing with injury issues over their three scrimmage games, but they did receive some good news on Friday as they get set for the restart opener.
Big mn Joel Embiid missed their final two scrimmage games with a right calf issue and he is all good to go and will play on Saturday. Meanwhile, Raul Neto is dealing with lower back tightness and he will be probable while Glenn Robinson III is doubtful with a left hip pointer injury.
Raul Neto is listed as probable, Glenn Robinson III is doubtful, and Joel Embiid isn’t even on the injury report for tomorrow’s game with the Pacers #Sixers
