The Philadelphia 76ers will look to avoid a second straight loss against the Kings in Sacramento on Thursday night.
It will be the second and final meeting of the season between the teams. The Sixers pulled out a 113-111 over the Kings in the first matchup in late January.
Joel Embiid 'doubtful' to play against Kings on Thursday night
Sixers star center Joel Embiid tallied 37 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists in that first meeting. When it comes to his status for the second matchup, we’ll have to wait and see.
Embiid is currently listed as “doubtful” on the official injury report for the game in Sacramento due to a right oblique strain. His final status will be determined prior to tipoff.
The big man has missed 10 straight games for Philadelphia. His last game action came against the Miami Heat back on Feb. 26.
On the season, Embiid has appeared in just 33 games for Philadelphia and posted averages of 26.6 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.1 blocks per performance.
The Sixers will also continue to be without Tyrese Maxey (right finger tendon sprain), Kelly Oubre Jr. (left elbow sprain) and Paul George (suspension) for the game against Sacramento.
