The Detroit Pistons return home from a five-game road trip to play the Philadelphia 76ers for the second time this season. In their initial meeting on Dec. 21, Joel Embiid lead his 76ers to a dominant 113-93 victory over the young Pistons.
Luckily for Detroit, Embiid has been listed out for this afternoon’s clash with a foot injury, missing his third straight game. Philadelphia coach Doc Rivers will also be without the services of Embiid’s front-court running mate PJ Tucker. Tucker will be absent from the team while he recovers from a non-COVID related illness.
