Written by Published

The Philadelphia 76ers are gearing up to face the Sacramento Kings on Monday night in their final game of the road trip. Despite a challenging start with two losses, they bounced back with a significant victory against the Los Angeles Clippers. Now, they're aiming to cap off the trip with a 2-2 record.

Facing the Kings, the Sixers knew they would be missing key players like Joel Embiid, De'Anthony Melton, and Robert Covington, who are still recovering from injuries. Adding to their woes, Kelly Oubre Jr. will also be absent due to right shoulder soreness, leaving the team without another important piece.

In Oubre's absence, the Sixers will rely on players like Cam Payne and Nic Batum to step up and deliver. Payne showcased his scoring prowess with 23 points against the Clippers, while Batum didn't see any action.

The game at the Golden 1 Center is scheduled to tip off at 10 p.m. EDT, and the Sixers are eager to see who will rise to the occasion in Oubre's absence.
