The Philadelphia 76ers begin a two-game road trip on Friday when they face the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Sixers are looking for a big bounce-back game following the loss to the Los Angeles Clippers at home.
The Sixers will once again be short-handed. Joel Embiid (left knee meniscus procedure) is getting closer to a return, but he remains out. Coach Nick Nurse revealed at practice on Thursday that the big fella will travel with the Sixers on this trip, so that has to be a good sign.
Along with Embiid being out, De’Anthony Melton (lumbar spine bone stress) and Robert Covington (left knee bone bruise) are also out against the Cavs.
Injury report for tomorrow in Cleveland:
