Sixers Face Spurs Without Embiid, Wembanyama Looms

0:00Welcome to NBA News Today, two minutes of updates that matter to NBA fans, hit subscribe and stay connected. The Philadelphia Sixers faced the San Antonio Spurs at home on Tuesday night. The Sixers sit at 33 wins and 27 losses, while the Spurs lead with 43 and 17. Philly will hit the court without star center, Joe embied for the fourth straight game. Embied picked up a right oblique strain during their win over Miami on February 26th. He sat out Sundays lost to Boston, and now misses both ends of the back-to-back against San Antonio and Utah. Doctors would check him later this week. This also counts as the 14th game in Paul George's 25-game suspension. Sixers forward Johnny Broom had successful knee surgery, Saturday, and stay sideline for four weeks. Players like Mar-John Bosham, Tyree's Martin, and Dalynteri remain doubtful after G-League Stints. Over on the spur side, center Mason Plumley sits with reconditioning work. David Jones, Garcia, Harrison Ingram, and Emmanuel Miller are out on two-way deals.

1:04The big concern for Philly is Victor Wimbanyama, who set to play unless something changes. Without Embied, the Sixers face a tough rim protector in Wimbanyama, who could dominate inside and limit their scoring. Teens often struggle matching his length and skill, setting up a real test for Philadelphia's depth. That episode is brought to you in partnership with our sponsor. Press play, put your head down.
