The Philadelphia 76ers will return home on Monday to face the Denver Nuggets looking to build off their 3-2 road trip. The Sixers are sitting at 19-14 and should be able to take advantage of a rather banged up Nuggets team at the moment.
As for the injury report for the Sixers, they will still be without Trendon Watford (left adductor strain) as he will remain sidelined. The versatile 5-year forward out of LSU has not played since Nov. 25.
As for Kelly Oubre Jr. (left knee sprain), the 11-year veteran out of Kansas will remain sidelined.. He hasn’t played since Nov. 14 with the injury and will look to help Philadelphia when he returns to the floor.
Joel Embiid (left knee injury management, right ankle soreness) is listed as probable. It’s been good for both him and the Sixers that he has been able to finally string some games together.
The Sixers will face the Nuggets at 8:30 p.m. EST on Monday from the Xfinity Mobile Arena.
