Sixers starters James Harden, PJ Tucker out for matchup vs. Thunder

The Philadelphia 76ers will be missing James Harden and PJ Tucker for Saturday’s contest with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Philadelphia 76ers look to finish their four-game road trip and the 2022 calendar year on a high note when they take on the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday. After two straight losses, the Sixers look to get back in the win column.

They will have to do so while short-handed. Tyrese Maxey will miss Saturday’s matchup with the Thunder due to injury management on the second night of a back-to-back. The Sixers will also be down two other key pieces.

James Harden and PJ Tucker are out for this one due to their own injury management. Harden has averaged 39.1 minutes over the last 11 games since returning from a right foot tendon strain. Tucker has been dealing with a variety of ailments and has played in all 34 games this season.

Tipoff from the Paycom Center is set for 8 p.m. EST from Oklahoma City.
