Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (illness) won't play on Tuesday night against Philadelphia. The veteran remains quarantined after he tested positive for COVID-19, so his absence against the 76ers isn't much of a revelation. Brook Lopez (back) will also miss his tenth straight contest, so George Hill and Bobby Portis will likely make appearances as […]
Matisse Thybulle To Remain Out On Monday
Philadelphia 76ers small forward Matisse Thybulle will remain out for Monday's game against the New York Knicks due to health and safety protocols. Thybulle is in league health and safety protocols due to contact tracing. The team is extremely short-handed right now with Tobias Harris and Isaiah Joe also in health and safety protocols and […]
