The Philadelphia 76ers are facing challenges with veteran forward Caleb Martin, who has been struggling with multiple injuries, including a right shoulder impingement. Head coach Nick Nurse expressed optimism about Martin's potential once he recovers and finds his fit within the team.

Additionally, rookie Adem Bona will also be sidelined due to a knee injury, missing his third consecutive game. Both players' absences pose a challenge for the 76ers as they navigate the early part of the season.
