After a few days off to ponder their miserable loss to a then 0-4 Detroit Pistons team on Wednesday night, the Philadelphia 76ers are back in action on Saturday hosting the Memphis Grizzlies.
The headlines for the Sixers continue to revolve around the players that haven’t stepped on the court yet, with Joel Embiid and Paul George still sidelined. They’ve already been ruled out for Saturday’s contest, but with the promising update that the duo have been involved in five-on-five scrimmages at practice.
The Grizzlies are fairly beat up themselves, with key players such as Desmond Bane and Marcus Smart out as well as smattering of other supporting cast members sidelined due to injuries.
