The full injury report for Saturday afternoon's game between the Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets.
The Philadelphia 76ers (35-31) will look to pick up a much-needed win against the Brooklyn Nets (17-49) on Saturday afternoon at 1 PM ET in Xfinity Mobile Arena.
Philadelphia has come up short in three of their last four games, with losses coming against the Atlanta Hawks, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Detroit Pistons. The Sixers' lone victory in that stretch was a 10-point win over the Memphis Grizzlies, led by guard Cameron Payne and forward Kelly Oubre Jr.
Meanwhile, the Nets have lost nine of their last 11 matchups and are coming off an 11-point defeat versus the Atlanta Hawks. Their only victories in that span have come against the Grizzlies and Pistons.
Here is the full injury report for 76ers-Nets:

Even against a rebuilding Nets team, this game will be a challenge for Philadelphia. The Sixers are without four of their five usual starters in Maxey, George, Oubre, and Embiid. An update regarding Embiid was supposed to be provided Friday, but it appears the fanbase will need to wait a bit longer for that.
It's worth noting Brooklyn will likely be without their No. 1 option, Michael Porter Jr., which does make emerging victorious significantly easier for the 76ers. He is averaging 24.2 points and 7.1 rebounds on 46.3% shooting in 52 games played for the Nets this season.
V.J. Edgecombe, Quentin Grimes, and others will still need to be at their best to walk away with a win.
