Brooklyn Nets vs. 76ers: Injury Report and Preview
The Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers will face off on Sunday evening, with the Nets hoping to secure their first win of the season. The Nets are currently one of only two teams in the league without a single victory, joining the New Orleans Pelicans in their 0-5 record. While some expected Brooklyn to be more competitive, they've struggled, losing to the Hornets, Cavaliers, Spurs, Rockets, and Hawks, with only a few close games.
In contrast, the 76ers have been a surprise early-season success story. They suffered their first loss of the season to the Celtics by just one point on Friday, but they've been led by Tyrese Maxey and rookie VJ Edgecombe. The 76ers' star power is missing tonight, as Joel Embiid and Paul George are both out with knee injuries.
Brooklyn's injury report is relatively short. Haywood Highsmith, acquired over the offseason from Miami, remains out with a right knee issue and hasn't made his debut yet. Danny Wolf, a rookie, is also out with a left ankle sprain, despite playing well in the preseason. Terrance Mann was added to the injury report as questionable due to an illness.
The 76ers, on the other hand, are missing key players. Joel Embiid and Paul George are both out with left knee injuries, and George hasn't played this season due to post-surgery recovery. Jared McCain, a high-level guard, is also out with a right thumb injury, while Dominick Barlow is listed as out with a right elbow issue.
The game tips off at 5 p.m. CT, and the Nets will need to overcome their injury concerns to secure their first win. The 76ers, despite their own injuries, will look to continue their early-season success.
Stay tuned for an exciting showdown between these two teams, and don't forget to check back for the latest updates and injury reports!
