76ers' Tobias Harris Downgraded vs. Pacers
On Thursday night, the Philadelphia 76ers are set to take on the Indiana Pacers, as they look to keep their winning streak alive, with the hopes of carrying it to seven games.
In their last time out, the Sixers took on the San Antonio Spurs, in a match that gave the NBA world their first look at Joel Embiid and Victor Wenbanyama.
The match didn't disappoint with Embiid dropping a career-high 71 points on 58 percent shooting, with 58 of his scoring tally coming within the first three quarters of the match.
This isn't to say that Wenbanyama didn't have a good night, as the French superstar dropped a team-high 33 points against Philadelphia.
While Embiid was the focus for the Sixers, Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris put up notable supporting performances, with the partnership combining for 32 points.
While Harris contributed six assists on Monday night, he may be sidelined for Thursday night's game in Indiana, as he has been downgraded to questionable due to an illness.
The potential absence comes during a highlight-filled stretch of Harris' season, averaging 19 points on 51 percent shooting, along with five rebounds since the beginning of the month.
If Harris is to be absent from the match in Indiana, it would be only his second absence of the year, following his inactive status against the Utah Jazz earlier in the month due to left ankle soreness.
The Sixers are set to take on the Pacers on Thursday night, with tip-off scheduled for 7:00 p.m. EST.
