The Philadelphia 76ers are gearing up for a tough matchup against the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night, marking the fourth game of a grueling six-game road trip. Both teams are struggling with injuries, but the Sixers are particularly affected, missing key players such as Joel Embiid, Paul George, Eric Gordon, and Jared McCain, all ruled out for the season. Tyrese Maxey, who has been sidelined for a while due to a lower back and finger sprain, will also sit out this game. Further compounding their challenges, Kelly Oubre Jr. and Andre Drummond will miss the contest due to ongoing injuries. The Spurs' Lonnie Walker IV has been upgraded to probable after recovering from a concussion.
