The Philadelphia 76ers are gearing up for their matchup against the Toronto Raptors, but they will face significant challenges with the absence of Guerschon Yabusele and Quentin Grimes. Both players have been ruled out for the game, with Yabusele sidelined due to ongoing knee issues and Grimes taking a rest following a busy schedule. This predicament forces the 76ers to pivot their strategy.

In their absence, the team will rely heavily on new starters, including Adem Bona and Lonnie Walker IV. The 76ers, currently at a disappointing 23-51 and out of playoff contention, are leaning into the development of their younger players for the remainder of the season. Sunday’s game at Wells Fargo Center presents a chance for these emerging talents to showcase their skills against a competitive Raptors squad.
