As the Philadelphia 76ers prepare to take on the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday to continue their five-game road trip, they look to get on the board on the trip. The Sixers are 0-2 as they have battled a wave of adversity.
Philadelphia will be without Joel Embiid for the second straight game due to a left knee injury. He tweaked the existing injury during the road trip opener against the Indiana Pacers.
The Sixers will miss Tyrese Maxey as well. Maxey was listed as questionable for the contest with the Blazers due to a left ankle sprain, but he will miss the matchup. This will be the second straight game he has missed.
#Sixers guard Tyrese Maxey will miss his second consecutive game with a sprained left ankle, according to sources. He and Joel Embiid (knee) will miss tonight’s matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers at the Moda Center.
