Philadelphia 76ers Injury Report: Joel Embiid and 2 other key contributors in doubt for game vs. Suns (Jan. 6)

The Philadelphia 76ers will host the Phoenix Suns in a crunch regular season matchup on Monday. Both teams have identical records this season, struggling to find consistency. As a result, both Philadelphia and Phoenix sit in the bottom half of their respective conference standings.

Joel Embiid and the Sixers are currently ranked 11th in the Eastern Conference with a 14-19 record through 33 games. Meanwhile, Kevin Durant and the Suns hold the 12th spot in the Western Conference with a 15-18 record over the same span.

Heading into the Sixers vs. Suns clash, Philadelphia faces concerns over the availability of several key players, including superstar Joel Embiid.

Embiid is listed as "questionable" on the injury report due to a left foot sprain and a right sinus fracture. The seven-foot center was active during the Sixers’ dominant 123-94 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday.

Veteran guard Kyle Lowry is also listed as "questionable" as he deals with right hip soreness. Like Embiid, Lowry played in Saturday’s game against the Nets.

Kelly Oubre Jr. is another key player in question, sidelined for the last three games with a left hand sprain and his status remains uncertain for Monday.

Additionally, rookie Jaren McCain (left knee meniscus surgery) and KJ Martin (left foot injury) have been ruled out and will not suit up against the Suns.
