An Eastern Conference matchup between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Milwaukee Bucks is set to begin. With the 76ers slipping in the standings and Milwaukee on the rise, the two clubs couldn’t be more different heading into the season.
The Bucks are riding high after a three-game winning run, their most recent victory coming against the Raptors of Toronto. The Bucks have clawed their way back to being a playoff contender after a dismal start to the season.
However, Philadelphia will be without key players before their game against the 76ers. top centre Joel Embiid is already out for this game, while top forward Paul George was also listed as injured before the game.
Even though he was considered iffy coming into the game, George would start and finish it.
With Joel Embiid already out with an injury, the 76ers’ lineup takes a different turn with George on the court. The injury crisis that Philadelphia has been experiencing this season has been devastating to their playoff hopes.
