The Philadelphia 76ers will pay a visit to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday to conclude a 2-game road trip and they will be a bit short-handed as they invade The Land.
The Sixers will once again be short-handed as they already knew they would be without Joel Embiid, De’Anthony Melton, Nic Batum, and Robert Covington, but they will now be down yet another starter.
Tobias Harris is out against the Cavaliers due to a left hip impingement and Philadelphia will start KJ Martin in his place. This will be the first time Martin has started all season.
Martin will start alongside Tyrese Maxey, Buddy Hield, Kelly Oubre Jr., and Paul Reed.
Sixers say KJ Martin is moving into the starting lineup with Tobias Harris (hip) out, alongside Maxey-Hield-Oubre-Reed.

On the season, Martin is averaging 3.0 points and 1.3 rebounds in 36 games with the Sixers. He will have a big challenge on his hands dealing with Cleveland’s size advantage in the form of Evan Mobley and Jarett Allen in this one.
Tip off from Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse is set for 7 p.m. EST.
