The Philadelphia 76ers have been dealing with a string of injuries leading up to the NBA All-Star break, but they are gradually getting closer to full strength. This has prompted head coach Nick Nurse to face some challenging lineup decisions, especially after recent roster changes made before the NBA trade deadline.
Star center Joel Embiid is still out with a meniscus injury, while forward Robert Covington is working his way back from a knee injury. However, De'Anthony Melton returned to action after missing 18 games due to a back injury.
