The Sixers have had a terrific start to the new season overall, but their eight-game win streak finally came to an end with their two losses in this week’s back-to-back against Indiana and Boston.
On Friday, the Sixers will be looking to bounce back in another In-Season Tournament game against the Hawks, and could remain shorthanded.
Along with Kelly Oubre Jr.’s absence, Joel Embiid is listed as questionable due to left hip soreness, while unfortunately Nicolas Batum remains out for personal reasons.
After the Sixers lost 117-107 to the Celtics on Wednesday, Nick Nurse was asked about how Embiid is doing with his hip.
