The Philadelphia 76ers will host the Indiana Pacers on Sunday afternoon at the Xfinity Mobile Arena.
The team is looking to conclude a three-game homestand before traveling to play the Brooklyn Nets on Monday night, according to the Philadelphia 76ers.
Philadelphia announced that Joel Embiid will be sidelined for the matchup due to right foot plantar fascia injury management, as reported by Yahoo Sports.
Given the team faces a back-to-back schedule against the Brooklyn Nets, the organization decided to have the star center sit out the contest against Indiana, noted Sixers Wire.
The injury report also confirms that Adem Bona remains unavailable while recovering from a cervical spine sprain.
The team previously noted that he consulted a specialist and will miss at least another week after being injured against the Detroit Pistons on Nov. 4, per the Detroit Pistons.
Additionally, Dominick Barlow is listed as out due to a low back stress reaction, though he appears to be moving closer to a return to the court.
The team has been without Barlow for the entire season thus far, according to the Indiana Pacers.
Ariel Hukporti also remains on the injury list with a right Achilles tear.
He is expected to miss the remainder of the season after suffering the injury during the preseason, as reported by the Brooklyn Nets.
Tipoff for the Sunday matinee is scheduled for 1 p.m. EST.
The Sixers aim to keep their momentum trending in the right direction despite the ongoing roster challenges.
The team remains focused on maintaining health for the long term throughout the current schedule.
