Headline: Sixers Face Bucks on Back-to-Back, Embiid Out for Injury Recovery

Milwaukee, WI – Fresh off a thrilling victory against the Golden State Warriors, the Philadelphia 76ers will face a tough test on Friday night against the Milwaukee Bucks at the Fiserv Forum. The Sixers are looking to extend their winning streak to three games, but will have to do so without their star center, Joel Embiid.

Embiid is sitting out the game for injury recovery on his left knee, a move expected by the team as they carefully manage his return to full strength. He played 25 minutes in Thursday’s win.

While Embiid’s absence is a blow, the Sixers are riding high after VJ Edgecombe and Tyrese Maxey led the team to victory against the Warriors.

The injury report is otherwise relatively light for Philadelphia. Kelly Oubre Jr. (left knee sprain) and Trendon Watford (left adductor strain) remain out. Oubre recently provided a positive update on his recovery, suggesting he’s nearing a return to the court.

The Sixers and Bucks are set to tip-off at 8:00 PM EST.
