As the Philadelphia 76ers begin a 5-game road trip on Thursday with a matchup against the Indiana Pacers, they will be missing some key pieces as they look to build on their 6-game winning streak.
The Sixers already knew they would be without De’Anthony Melton due to lumbar spine stress response, Robert Covington due to a bone bruise in his left knee, and Mo Bamba due to right knee inflammation. They will now be down two other key pieces.
The Sixers will be down Tobias Harris due to an illness while Marcus Morris Sr. will also be on the sidelines due to plantar fasciitis in his left foot.
Sixers forward Tobias Harris and reserve forward Marcus Morris are out tonight, according to sources.

With the Sixers missing Harris and Morris, one has to figure that an opportunity will arise for Furkan Korkmaz and Jaden Springer to get some playing time. Coach Nick Nurse told reporters in Indiana that Springer is available for this one.
Tip off from Gainbridge Fieldhouse is set for 7 p.m. EST.
