Glenn Robinson III out for Game 1 vs. Celtics with oblique strain

Philadelphia 76ers forward Glenn Robinson III is out for Monday’s game against the Boston Celtics.

The Philadelphia 76ers are getting set to take on the Boston Celtics on Monday to begin the 2020 NBA Playoffs and they will be doing so without their star player in Ben Simmons.

They will also have to go to work without one of their key rotation pieces off the bench in Glenn Robinson III. The veteran out of Michigan suffered a left hip pointer injury in the team’s second scrimmage game and that caused him to only play two seeding games due to the injury.

Further evaluation of the injury revealed that he now has an oblique strain and he is now officially out for the game on Monday and a few more after that. He will be re-evaluated in 7-10 days and the Sixers hope he can get back on the floor soon.

Coach Brett Brown has said in the past how important Robinson III will be to Philadelphia so this is another tough blow to their hopes of finding the right perimeter defenders against the Celtics. [lawrence-related id=36838,36834,36831]

Sixers star Joel Embiid to play vs. Rockets, Glenn Robinson III out

The Philadelphia 76ers will have Joel Embiid play against the Houston Rockets while Glenn Robinson III is out.

The Philadelphia 76ers will take on the Houston Rockets on Friday night to conclude a wild 2019-20 regular season that included a long hiatus due to a global pandemic. They know their playoff opponent is the Boston Celtics and considering their star big man is dealing with an injury, one would assume he wouldn’t play.

However, the Sixers will have Joel Embiid active on Friday against the Rockets and he will start. The Sixers will also have Shake Milton, Josh Richardson, Tobias Harris, and Al Horford start alongside Embiid.

Glenn Robinson III will miss another game with the left hip pointer injury that he has been dealing with since the team’s second scrimmage game.

The Sixers have to have these guys play together and get some chemistry before the playoffs begin on Monday. The Celtics will be waiting on Monday and without Ben Simmons, Philadelphia needs these guys to build some chemistry with each other. This game with the Rockets offers them that opportunity.

Sixers forward Glenn Robinson III out vs. Raptors with hip injury

Philadelphia 76ers forward Glenn Robinson III will miss Wednesday’s game with the Toronto Raptors.

The Philadelphia 76ers are getting set to take on the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night inside the bubble in Orlando and they will be a more whole with the return of Joel Embiid.

However, they will be missing another key piece of their team with Glenn Robinson III headed back to the sideline as the left hip pointer issue he suffered in their second scrimmage game has flared up. He did miss the first four games of the restart before playing in their last two games and he will now miss Wednesday’s contest. He will receive treatment and then be re-evaluated on Thursday.

He did score 15 points and knock down three shots from deep against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday. Philadelphia needs him healthy for the playoffs so this could be just another case of precaution much like how they are doing with Alec Burks.

Tipoff with the Raptors is set for 6:30 p.m. EST. [lawrence-related id=36742,36738,36735]

Sixers to have Glenn Robinson III return from injury vs. Trail Blazers

Philadelphia 76ers forward Glenn Robinson III will return against the Portland Trail Blazers.

While he is certainly not Ben Simmons, the Philadelphia 76ers will finally have the services of an important bench piece on Sunday when they take on the Portland Trail Blazers.

After missing the first four games of the restart in Orlando, Glenn Robinson III will finally suit up for the Sixers. He suffered a left hip pointer injury against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the second scrimmage game and he has not played since.

Obviously, he does not have the same impact as a guy like Simmons, but he had a strong couple of scrimmage games and he does provide the team with some depth. On top of that, he was really beginning to understand his role before this unfortunate injury.

This will also give Robinson III to make a push to be in coach Brett Brown’s rotation for the playoffs. Philadelphia has four seeding games left including on Sunday and he will be battling with Furkan Korkmaz, Matisse Thybulle, and others for playing time. [lawrence-related id=36570,36558,36542]

Sixers’ Mike Scott to return vs. Magic, Glenn Robinson III remains out

The Philadelphia 76ers will welcome back Mike Scott while still missing Glenn Robinson III against the Orlando Magic.

The Philadelphia 76ers are obviously dealing with a big injury to All-Star Ben Simmons, but they will be getting the help of a veteran who has yet to play in the seeding games in Orlando.

Veteran Mike Scott has been dealing with right knee soreness and he has not played since the team’s last scrimmage game. However, he is all set to return on Friday as the team takes on the Orlando Magic at the HP Field House at Disney World.

In other injury news, the team will still be missing Glenn Robinson III who is still dealing with the effects of a left hip pointer issue. He has not played since suffering the injury in the team’s second scrimmage game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Sixers have been in need of Robinson III’s play off the bench so one has to hope that he can get healthy soon and get back out there. The return of Scott does come at a convenient time as he can come in and provide toughness and shooting around Joel Embiid and Al Horford.

Tipoff from Disney World is set for 6:30 p.m. EST. [lawrence-related id=36370,36364,36350]

Sixers vs. Magic preview: Sixers attempt to move on without Ben Simmons

The Philadelphia 76ers face the Orlando Magic while missing Ben Simmons inside the bubble.

The Philadelphia 76ers continue life inside the bubble as they look to win their third in a row on Friday when they take on the Orlando Magic. The Sixers will have to do so without one of the game’s brightest stars in Ben Simmons who is out with a subluxation in his left knee.

The Magic are dealing with injuries of their own as they are missing Jonathan Isaac and possibly Aaron Gordon in this matchup. So while the Sixers are obviously shorthanded, Orlando will be missing at least one and possibly two of their main contributors in this one.

With that said, let’s get into the game preview in this one:

Storylines

Brown disappointed for Simmons

Coach Brett Brown has gone down this injury road before. He has experienced devastating injuries to multiple players during his long tenure as coach of the Sixers, but at some point, there can only be so much one man can take. Brown certainly did not hold back any emotions of frustrations when he found out the news about his All-Star forward especially after all the work he put in to prepare for this chance after the back injury he had in February.

“I was with him last night. We had an organization dinner,” Brown added. “There’s clearly disappointment because I don’t know if anybody really understood what he did to get ready to come play basketball again. He really invested time, he really was diligent during the whole pandemic about recovery and rehab and strength and conditioning and it’s monotonous some of the smaller things that he had to do to add up to be able to play NBA basketball again.”

More responsibility on Embiid

The Sixers are blessed to have not one, but two young All-Stars as this is now Joel Embiid’s time to step into the limelight and show just how valuable he really is. The big fella has had a terrific start to the restart and he now has even more responsibility thrust on his shoulders without Simmons.

“Offensively, he needs to get as many touches as we can give him,” Brown added. “I think that one of the areas of most noticeable growth is what’s he been doing passing out of the post. It’s probably the single thing that stands out most to me, offensively whether it’s Jo or just us as a team, I like our post spacing. I like Jo’s unselfishness, quarterbacking gyms, his ability to read where the double teams are coming from I think has been shown.”

Prediction

The Magic have had Philadelphia’s number in recent matchups. Nikola Vucevic is always a tough matchup and Markelle Fultz is an athletic guard out on the perimeter. However, even without Simmons, this is a game the Sixers should win. Philadelphia will have to lean even more on Embiid and Horford to get the job done, but it’s a game the Sixers should seriously come away with.

Pick: Sixers are listed as the home team in this one. They don’t lose home games.

Sixers will be without key reserve Glenn Robinson III again vs. Wizards

The Philadelphia 76ers will be without Glenn Robinson III for another game against the Washington Wizards.

The Philadelphia 76ers continue to be shorthanded so far in Disney World as not only will they be without key veteran Mike Scott, but they will also be without another big rotation piece for the third straight game.

Glenn Robinson III, who suffered a left hip pointer injury against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the team’s second scrimmage game, will once again be out on Wednesday as the team takes on the Washington Wizards. Robinson III had a strong start to the scrimmage games in Orlando, but the injury hs thrown a wrench into any plans the Sixers had for him.

The veteran from Michigan is having a tough time so far in his return to Philadelphia as he has been dealing with injuries as well as trying to figure out his role on this team. When the playoffs begin on August 17, it would definitely help the team if he can get back on the floor.

The Sixers and the Wizards tipoff at 4:00 p.m. EST on Wednesday. [lawrence-related id=36185,36170,36159]

Kyle O’Quinn misses COVID-19 test, will miss Sixers matchup vs. Spurs

Philadelphia 76ers big man Kyle O’Quinn misses his COVID-19 test and he will not be available against the San Antonio Spurs.

With the NBA resuming the 2019-20 season in the middle of a pandemic, the league has to take all of the necessary precautions to ensure a safe environment for everybody involved. That means lots of testing to make sure everybody is healthy and everybody is in a good state for everything that’s going on.

The Philadelphia 76ers have been healthy for the most part as they all have produced negative tests, but when one misses a test, that player has to stay away until he can get tested again.

Such as the case for veteran big man Kyle O’Quinn who missed his COVID test on Sunday and he is ineligible to play in Monday’s game against the San Antonio Spurs. He was tested on Monday and he will rejoin the team once he produces a negative test.

The Sixers did not use O’Quinn in Saturday’s opener against the Indiana Pacers, but he joins Mike Scott on the list of players already out for this game. Glenn Robinson III could join them as he is doubtful with a left hip pointer injury.

Tipoff in Orlando is set for 8:00 p.m. EST. [lawrence-related id=36055,36049,36041]

Sixers veteran Mike Scott out, Glenn Robinson III doubtful vs. Spurs

The Philadelphia 76ers will be missing Mike Scott while Glenn Robinson III is doubtful against the San Antonio Spurs.

The Philadelphia 76ers are currently dealing with the injury bug a little bit as they will be missing a key rotational piece again on Mondy. That is not good news for a team that is still trying to figure everything out on the floor in terms of their chemistry.

For the second consecutive game, they will be missing Mike Scott who is dealing with right knee soreness and Glenn Robinson III will be doubtful for Monday’s matchup with the San Antonio Spurs. While Scott may not play as much as he did in the past, he is still a key part of this team and the Sixers want to have Robinson III a part of their rotation so this is tough for them.

The Sixers are currently now a full game back of the Indiana Pacers for the 5 seed in the Eastern Conference, but it is effectively two games now since they do not own the tiebreaker. They meed these remaining games to move up in the standings. [lawrence-related id=36027,36017,36010]

Mike Scott, Glenn Robinson III out vs. Pacers, Raul Neto available

Philadelphia 76ers veterans Mike Scott and Glenn Robinson III are out against the Indiana Pacers.

The Philadelphia 76ers will officially get back to work on Saturday night when they take on the Indiana Pacers in their restart opener. One thing for certain is big man Joel Embiid will play after missing the team’s final two scrimmage openers. However, they will still be shorthanded.

The team will still be missing key rotational piece Glenn Robinson III to a left hip pointer injury suffered in their second scrimmage game and now they will be missing Mike Scott as well. The gritty veteran will miss the game with right knee soreness and that will put a dent into coach Brett Brown’s rotation.

Raul Neto, who missed the final two scrimmage games with lower back tightness, will return and is available for the game.

This is an important game for the Sixers in terms of seeding as both teams are currently tied for the 5 seed in the East. Indiana holds the tiebreaker after winning two of the first three matchups and that puts pressure on Philadelphia in this one. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. EST in Orlando.
