The Philadelphia 76ers, like any NBA team, are subject to scrapes and bruises throughout the season. There are very few players in the NBA that can make it through a full 82 games without having to sit a few out do to minor, or even perhaps major injuries.
The Sixers started this season without Robert Covington, Nik Stauskas, Tony Wroten, and of course, Joel Embiid, all due to injuries. Throughout the year Jerami Grant, Nerlens Noel, and Robert Covington have all been players that have had to sit for a few games due to injuries.
