The 76ers are the 11th seed in the Eastern Conference with a 13-19 record in 32 games.

They have gone 6-4 over their last ten (but are also in the middle of a two-game losing skid).

Most recently, the 76ers lost to the Golden State Warriors by a score of 139-105.

Embiid finished the loss with 28 points, 14 rebounds, two assists, one steal and two blocks while shooting 8/19 from the field and 1/3 from the three-point range in 31 minutes of playing time.

The Sixers list Joel Embiid as questionable due to left foot sprain and "R sinus fracture - mask" for tomorrow's game in BKN.

Kelly Oubre Jr. is doubtful with a sprained left hand.
