Full injury report for Wednesday's Sixers vs. Thunder matchup
The Oklahoma City Thunder return home to host the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. This will be the season's second matchup between the squads. OKC avoided an upset the last time they met with a close win on Jan. 14.
The Thunder (56-12) have won three in a row after they swept an East playoff team road trip. They blew out the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 31 points and the Holmgren-Hartenstein duo had their best outing.
Meanwhile, the Sixers (23-45) continue to tank with hopes of keeping their top-six protected pick. They snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in their overtime loss to the Houston Rockets on Monday. Quentin Grimes had a critical turnover late that ruined a career-high 46 points.
Both teams have lengthy injury reports. That shouldn't be a shocker. The Sixers want to keep their top-six protected pick. Meanwhile, the Thunder can rest up with such a cushy first-place lead.
The Thunder will be without several players. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (rest) is out. Jalen Williams (hip strain) is out. Lu Dort (hip soreness) is out. Isaiah Hartenstien (back spasms) is questionable. Cason Wallace (shoulder strain) is questionable. Ousmane Dieng (calf strain) is out. Ajay Mitchell (toe sprain) is out. Nikola Topic (torn ACL) is out. Alex Ducas (G League two-way) is probable.
Same for the Sixers. Joel Embiid (knee injury management) is out. Paul George (groin injury recovery) is out. Tyrese Maxey (back sprain; finger sprain) is out. Jared McCain (torn meniscus) is out. Kyle Lowry (hip injury management) is out. Eric Gordon (wrist surgery) is out. Andre Drummond (toe sprain) is out. Lonnie Walker IV (concussion) is out. Adem Bona (ankle sprain) is out. Kelly Oubre Jr. (knee sprain) is doubtful. Guerschon Yabusele (knee soreness) is questionable.
Tipoff from Oklahoma City is set for 7 p.m. CT.
