Philadelphia hasn't submitted their injury report yet (they have until 1pm ET), but before yesterday's game Nick Nurse said he doesn't expect Embiid to play tonight.

Andre Drummond is for sure out with an ankle injury.

Paul George has not played on the second night a back-to-back yet this season, so TBD on his status as well.

Idk what to expect in this one. If embiid & pg13 play I think we get a big fat L. If they don't then maybe we can win. But it's a b2b... Who knows... Last night really hit me hard lol.

We need Goga. Wendell isn't in playing shape yet.

I'd be tempted to give Cole loads of minutes just to see if he can get in any sort of rhythm, we could really do with the Cole from a year ago

Jett and Houstan need to go back to the g-league, Cole needs to get banished to the end of the bench indefinitely, and Queen and McClung need to get their minutes.

Even if we can't score...Suggs, AB & KCP alone should be able to keep their young, smallish guards somewhat under control...Franz & Moe can score enough to win this one. Honestly, the defense-only development of this team seems built for this matchup.

Man, I love their young backcourt...true combo guards that can really score.

Need to get the swagger back. Lock these guys up...even though PHI honestly is terrible, it's still empowering to beat a "name" team in their house...we need a boost after last night's debacle.

Have no real reason to lose looking at the lineup, but last night was a downer and these things tend to carry over.

I think we win if Goga plays. Wendell isn't in game shape yet

76ers won't suit up:
Lowry
George
Drummond
Embiid


This means 6'8 Yabusele is only "big" they have on roster.

This is a damned if you do, damned if you don’t game. Lose the game and it’s a disappointment. Win it and it’s still underwhelming after crapping the bed against some real competition last night.

2nd night of a back to back, so a scheduled loss can be expected. But the team gave no effort last night so they shouldn’t be tired, and 6ers are so depleted there’s no excuse to lose to them.

I just want to know where Orlando’s head is at.

We gotta be thankful Paul Reed isnt on the 76ers anymore.

Cant count the 76ers out. They have our number past couple of seasons even when shorthanded
