Mike Scott is Available for Game 3

Philadelphia 76ers forward Mike Scott (heel) is available for Thursday's Game 3 versus the Toronto Raptors. Scott missed the first two games of this series after suffering a heel injury in Game 5 against the Brooklyn Nets.

Mike Scott Could Play in Game 3

Philadelphia 76ers forward Mike Scott (heel) is listed as questionable for Thursday's Game 3 versus the Toronto Raptors. He has missed the last two games, but was able to practice on Wednesday.

Greg Monroe is Probable for Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers center Greg Monroe (ankle) is listed as probable for Thursday's Game 3 versus the Toronto Raptors. Monroe suffered a left ankle sprain during Game 2, but it doesn't appear to be too serious.
