The Philadelphia 76ers will get back at it on Friday when they take on the NBA Cup champion New York Knicks on the road. The Sixers have not played since Sunday when they fell to the Hawks in Atlanta as the semifinals and finals portion of the Cup schedule played out with the Knicks coming away with the Cup title.
As far as the injury report for the Sixers is concerned, Kelly Oubre Jr. (left knee sprain) and Trendon Watford (left adductor strain) are both listed as out. The two versatile forwards have progressed to individualized on-court work so there is some progression there as the Sixers await for their return.
As for Joel Embiid (illness), the big fella is listed as questionable. He played 30 minutes on Sunday against the Hawks–the first time all season he played two games in three nights–and had 22 points and 14 rebounds.
The Sixers and the Knicks will tip off at 7 p.m. EST on Friday from Madison Square Garden in Manhattan.
