Monday night's matchup between the 76ers and Suns will feature two teams battling through early-season health issues.
Philadelphia was forced to play without Joel Embiid in its last three games after the All-Star center came down with a non-COVID illness. The Sixers also recently received some bad news regarding James Harden's status. The 2017-18 MVP will miss extended time after suffering a tendon strain in his right foot.
Phoenix will also be missing a key contributor, as starting forward Cameron Johnson is set to undergo right knee surgery after tearing his meniscus. Torrey Craig is expected to fill Johnson's slot in the Suns' starting lineup.
