As their two days of rest ends, the Sixers released a pretty clean injury report for their nationally televised bout against the Indiana Pacers. VJ Edgecombe, who was a late scratch from Philadelphia’s previous game vs. Detroit with an abdominal contusion, is not listed at all. Neither is Joel Embiid for that matter, who missed the second part of that back-to-back with plantar fasciitis management, so the whole starting five will be good to go in Indy.

Jabari Walker will mis his second straight game with left knee soreness, and Dominick Barlow and Tacko Fall remain on the shelf as well. The Sixers did say at practice today that Fall was a full participant along with Edgecombe.

Indiana’s injury report is far more lengthy after falling to the Milwaukee Bucks two days prior. Ivica Zubac has already been ruled with an ankle sprain, and Tyrese Haliburton is questionable with left hamstring tightness. Haliburton has played in all four of the Pacers’ games so far since returning from his torn achilles.

Obi Toppin and Aaron Nesmith are at least probable. Andrew Nembhard is questionable after missing that Bucks loss with neck soreness. They have three more reserves already ruled out including former Sixer T.J. McConnell.

Injury Report for tomorrow's game against the 76ers:

Aaron Nesmith – Probable (left hamstring strain)
Obi Toppin – Probable (left hand sprain)
Tyrese Haliburton – Questionable (left hamstring tightness)
Andrew Nembhard – Questionable (neck soreness)
Ben Sheppard – Out (left… pic.twitter.com/Kdok5dcrkG

If the Pacers are down this many players, it lines up for plenty of opportunity for Kelly Oubre Jr. in his first game against the Sixers after spending the last three seasons in Philadelphia.
