Full injury report for Joel Embiid, Sixers vs. Cavaliers on the road
The Philadelphia 76ers will begin a quick 2-game road trip on Friday when they pay a visit to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Sixers will be looking for a big bounce-back following the loss to the Los Angeles Clippers at home.
The Sixers will once again be short-handed. Joel Embiid (left knee meniscus procedure) is getting closer to a return, but he remains out for this matchup. Coach Nick Nurse revealed at practice on Thursday that the big fella will travel with the Sixers on this trip so that has to be a good sign going forward.
Along with Embiid being out, De’Anthony Melton (lumbar spine bone stress) and Robert Covington (left knee bone bruise) are also out against the Cavs.
