Nearly six months removed from their first-round playoff battle, the Philadelphia 76ers (1-3) and Toronto Raptors (2-2) will meet for the first time in 2022-23 twice this week, with both games coming north of the border. Prior to the Sixers’ 4-2 series win, Toronto won the regular-season bout, 3-1.
Scottie Barnes (right ankle sprain) is questionable. Otto Porter Jr. (left hamstring strain) is out. De’Anthony Melton (right adductor tightness) is questionable. Anyone else unavailable for either side is on a G League assignment with their respective clubs.
Toronto continues its challenging slate to open the year, having faced the Miami Heat (x2), Cleveland Cavaliers and Brooklyn Nets through their first four games.
