Philadelphia 76ers vs Miami Heat Injury Reports for April 4 | 2023-24 NBA Season 

The Miami Heat take on the Philadelphia 76ers in their final showdown of the 2023-24 NBA regular season. The Heat have a 2-1 advantage in the season series, but the 76ers won when the teams matched up last time on Mar. 18. The Joel Embiid-less Sixers rode behind a team effort, winning 98-91.

Tyrese Maxey was the 76ers' best player with 30 points, eight rebounds and 10 assists, while Kelly Oubre Jr. bagged 22 and 11 rebounds. Ex-Heat guard Kyle Lowry chipped in with 16 points.

Meanwhile, the Heat, also shorthanded, missing Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro because of injuries, couldn't get much out of their supporting cast around Bam Adebayo and Terry Rozier. The duo combined for 40 points, but that couldn't get the Heat over the hump.
