The full injury report for Monday's game between the Philadelphia 76ers and San Antonio Spurs.
The Philadelphia 76ers (43-35) are taking on Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs (59-19) on Monday night at 8 PM ET in Frost Bank Center.
Philadelphia is coming off a 23-point blowout loss to the Cade Cunningham-less Detroit Pistons. Tyrese Maxey and Paul George led the charge in that game, combining for 43 points on 15 of 31 shooting. Prior to that defeat against the Pistons, the 76ers emerged victorious in two of their last three matchups.
Meanwhile, the Spurs fell short in a thrilling overtime battle against Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets on Saturday. Before that narrow loss, San Antonio had won 10 consecutive games.
Here is the injury report for 76ers-Spurs:
76ERS
Johni Broome: Out - Right Knee; Surgery Recovery
Tyrese Maxey: Available - Right Finger; Tendon Strain - Splint
Cameron Payne: Out - Right Hamstring; Strain
SPURS
Harrison Ingram: Out - G League; Two-Way
David Jones Garcia: Out - Right Ankle; Surgery
Emanuel Miller: Out - G League; Two-Way
Payne suffered his injury against the Pistons, where he played just nine minutes, recording two points, three rebounds, and an assist.
The Athletic's Tony Jones provided an update on Payne recently, writing, "Philadelphia guard Cam Payne had an MRI today and it confirmed his strained hamstring. He will be out for at least two weeks, which takes him beyond the end of the regular season. He will be reevaluated then."
Both teams are at full strength with the exception of Payne, which should lead to an exciting Monday evening game.
The center battle between Wembanyama and Joel Embiid is undoubtedly the matchup to watch. In 2024, Embiid tallied 70 points against Wembanyama and the Spurs. However, the 22-year-old is much improved from that time and is arguably the MVP and Defensive Player of the Year frontrunner this season.
If the 76ers want any shot of beating the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference, the 'Big Three' will need to be firing on all cylinders.
