Suns, 76ers Release Injury Report
Who: Philadelphia 76ers at Phoenix Suns
What: NBA Regular Season Action
When: Wednesday, March 20 at 7:00 PM Arizona time
Where: Footprint Center, Phoenix, AZ
The Phoenix Suns look to get back in the win column when they host the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night.
Injury reports for both teams:
PHILADELPHIA 76ERS
OUT - Robert Covington (left knee), Joel Embiid (meniscus), Kai Jones (hamstring), De'Anthony Melton (back) and Terquavion Smith (G League)
QUESTIONABLE - Tobias Harris (right ankle)
Sixers coach Nick Nurse told reporters over the weekend that Embiid was participating in non-contact portions of practice, though there's still no concrete return date for the defending MVP.
Harris did not play in Philadelphia's 98-91 win over the Miami Heat on Sunday, along with the rest of Sixers previously already out (Covington, Embiid, Jones, Melton and Smith).
Prior to Tuesday night's NBA slate, the Sixers clung to the No. 6 seed with a 38-30 record.
PHOENIX SUNS
OUT - Josh Okogie (abs), Damion Lee (meniscus)
PROBABLE - Bol Bol (right ankle sprain)
Okogie has not played since March 2 due to his ab strain. Lee still remains out after having meniscus surgery at the beginning of the season.
Arizona Sports' John Gambadoro says the team is also expecting the presence of guard Isaiah Thomas, who was recently reportedly signed to a ten-day contract. The move is expected to officially be announced on Wednesday.
The Suns are 39-29 with possession of the West's No. 8 seed as of Tuesday evening.
