The Philadelphia 76ers visited the Phoenix Suns at the Footprint Center on Wednesday for their second and final matchup of the season. The Suns are out for revenge after losing the first game to the Sixers, 112-100 on Nov. 4 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philly.

Joel Embiid was healthy and dominated the short-handed Suns who were missing Devin Booker and Bradley Beal due to injuries. The tide has turned for Phoenix this time, with their "Big 3" healthy against the injury-plagued Sixers.

Philly entered the game without Embiid, who remains in recovery after knee surgery last month. The Sixers are also without Tobias Harris for the third game in a row due to a sprained right ankle.
