Overview
- Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. ET at Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
- The matchup is the third game of a six-game homestand for the 76ers, who have dropped three of their past four after winning six of eight.
- Rookie guard Jared McCain is listed as doubtful after a weekend assignment to the G League’s Delaware Blue Coats.
- Reporters note the questionable tags reflect schedule management on the front end of the back-to-back, and neither Embiid nor George has played both legs of a back-to-back this season.
- Indiana remains short-handed, with Tyrese Haliburton, Obi Toppin and Bennedict Mathurin listed out, following a 121-78 loss in which most regulars sat.
