The Philadelphia 76ers will take on the Detroit Pistons on Sunday on the second night of a back-to-back looking to pick up another win after knocking off the Toronto Raptors on Saturday. The Pistons will have the rest advantage after not playing on Saturday, but the Sixers will look to rise to the challenge.
Due to it being a back-to-back, the Sixers will not have Joel Embiid (left knee injury management). This is a part of his continued plan to make sure he recovers the right way and gets back to his fully healthy self.
Paul George (left knee surgery recovery) remains sidelined as he continues to be assessed by the doctors. He will miss his 10th straight game to begin the season as he looks to get healthy for Philadelphia.
Dominick Barlow (right elbow laceration) will also miss his eighth straight game. He is set to see the surgeon on Monday for the next steps for himself.
Johni Broome (right ankle sprain) is also out.
The Sixers expect to play Jared McCain in this one after he didn’t play on Saturday against the Raptors. He is not playing in back-to-backs either so the Sixers expect to have him against the Pistons with tip off set for 7:30 p.m. EST from the Xfinity Mobile Arena.
