As the Philadelphia 76ers gear up for their road trip finale against the Sacramento Kings on Monday night, they’ll face the challenge without a full roster. Despite a tough 0-2 start to the trip, the Sixers managed to secure a significant victory against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday, aiming to cap off the trip with a 2-2 record.
Heading into the game, the Sixers were already aware of the absence of Joel Embiid, De’Anthony Melton, and Robert Covington, who are still recovering from injuries. Now, they’ll also be missing another key player as they take on the Kings.
Kelly Oubre Jr., listed as questionable due to right shoulder soreness, will sit out this crucial contest, prompting the team to rely on others to step up in his absence.
In the absence of Oubre, the Sixers will turn to players like Cam Payne and Nic Batum to fill the void and contribute on the court. Payne notably delivered an impressive performance with 23 points against the Clippers, while Batum awaits an opportunity to make an impact.
