The Sixers' life really isn't getting any easier right now. They’ve lost seven straight games, the injuries aren't going away, and the team's shorthanded performance and energy has often been lackluster recently.
Put all that together, and it's safe to say they’re in for a long night on Friday. They're up against the team with the top record in the NBA, the imposing 36-7 Cavaliers.
Yet again, the Sixers will be missing a host of players. Joel Embiid (left knee injury management) is still out, along with Andre Drummond (left toe injury recovery), Kyle Lowry (right hip sprain), KJ Martin (left foot stress reaction), Caleb Martin (right hip sprain) and of course Jared McCain.
