The Philadelphia 76ers are getting set to take on the Atlanta Hawks on Friday on the second game of a 4-game road trip and they will do so shorthanded again.
While the Sixers are still trying to get everybody healthy and on the same page, they will have to try and do so without one of their important players. Tobias Harris will miss the game on Friday due to a non-COVID illness after he missed the team’s shootaround in Atlanta.
Harris had a tough game on Wednesday against the Boston Celtics, but he is one of the team’s top players averaging 19.2 points and 8.2 rebounds. The Sixers will have to rely on guys such as Matisse Thybulle and Georges Niang to replace his scoring.

The Sixers have lost nine of their last 12 games as they head into this nationally televised game with the Hawks. They will have to play together and hope they have others step up when the time calls for it in order to get back on track.
