The Philadelphia 76ers will take on the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday on the second night of a back-to-back looking to pick up a third straight win. They will enter the Fiserv Forum on the heels of a wild win over the Golden State Warriors on Thursday thanks to the heroics of VJ Edgecombe and Tyrese Maxey.
As the Sixers prepare for the Bucks, the injury report is light. Kelly Oubre Jr. (left knee sprain) and Trendon Watford (left adductor strain) remain sidelined, but Oubre spoke on Thursday and gave an update on his recovery. The 11-year forward out of Kansas is inching closer towards a return.
As for Joel Embiid, the big fella is out against the Bucks due to left knee injury recovery. This isn’t a surprise when considering it is the second night of a back-to-back and he played 25 minutes in the win over the Warriors. The Sixers are continuing to handle him with kid gloves in order to help him get back up to speed.
The Sixers and the Bucks will tip off at 8 p.m. EST from the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee.
