The Philadelphia 76ers are gearing up for a challenging 3-game road trip, starting with a visit to the Denver Nuggets. Riding the momentum of a 2-game winning streak, the Sixers are looking to keep the good times rolling in the Mile High City.
However, they'll have to navigate some hurdles on the injury front. Tyrese Maxey is sidelined with a right finger tendon injury, Kelly Oubre Jr. is nursing a left elbow sprain, and Paul George remains out due to a league suspension, though he's eligible to return on March 25.
The absence of Joel Embiid, the 2023 MVP, continues to be felt as he deals with a right oblique strain. Embiid hasn't hit the court since February 26, when he sustained the injury against the Miami Heat.
On a brighter note, Adem Bona and Andre Drummond, both dealing with back issues, appear ready to suit up. Dalen Terry is questionable with a left shoulder impingement, while Jabari Walker is out due to illness.
Tip-off at Ball Arena in Denver is scheduled for 10 p.m. EDT on Tuesday. The Sixers will need to dig deep as they face a formidable Nuggets squad, aiming to extend their winning streak and make a statement on the road.
