Oklahoma City ThunderPhiladelphia 76ers

Oklahoma City will ring in the new year back at home with a challenging test on Saturday.

The Thunder will battle the Sixers and Joel Embiid in the Paycom Center. The Sixers enter as losers of their last two games, but have been hot in December.

The OKC injury report isn’t lengthy, but the missing players are key.

Aleksej Pokusevski is a recent addition after suffering a leg injury in OKC’s last game which will sideline him for at least six weeks.

Ousmane Dieng who has been playing in the G League as he suffered a wrist injury, his second of the season and remains out. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl will once again be absent.

OKC is no stranger to the injury bug as it has struck numerous times throughout the year.

The Thunder have looked better than many had expected entering the season, but will once again have a tough opponent to continue to fight in the Western Conference.

The Sixers injury report is similar to OKC’s in length but the players listed are key. Both James Harden and Tyrese Maxey carry injury designations into Saturday’s game.

Here are the most recent injury reports for both squads entering tonight:
