Sixers look for bounce back win against Pacers
The Pacers will be without Ivica Zubac, while Tyrese Haliburton is questionable with hamstring tightness in a matchup of 2-2 teams.
On Wednesday, the Indiana Pacers host the Philadelphia 76ers , with both teams navigating significant injury reports ahead of the matchup.
Indiana Pacers center Ivica Zubac is ruled out due to a swollen ankle sustained Sunday against Brooklyn, joining confirmed absences Johnny Furphy, TJ McConnell, and Ben Sheppard.
Star guard Tyrese Haliburton is questionable with hamstring tightness, while Andrew Nembhard is also questionable due to neck soreness, leaving the Pacers' status uncertain.
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid and guard VJ Edgecombe are expected to return after sitting out Sunday's 106-93 loss to the Detroit Pistons.
Head coach Nick Nurse expects a "really competitive game," noting both teams are in "bounce back mode" following recent losses as the Pacers face the 76ers' new roster.
