After dropping two straight games to the Denver Nuggets and New York Knicks, the Sacramento Kings experienced something of a get-right game against the Brooklyn Nets. Now, they face the battered Philadelphia 76ers (more on this in just a moment) in the hopes of starting a new winning streak (they recently won seven straight games).
But who will the Kings have available to them in this game? What about the 76ers? Here is the full injury report ahead of this Wednesday night clash.
Sacramento Kings Injury Report
The big name to monitor with the Kings is De'Aaron Fox. The one-time All-Star made headlines on Tuesday when it was reported that he and the team were open to exploring trades and that the guard likely would not return to Sacramento once his contract expired in 2025-26.
While not technically injured, it is not atypical for a star player to sit out to nurse some minor ailment as they are waiting for their current team to trade them. Fortunately for the Kings, Fox is not listed on their injury report. So, expect him to participate in tonight's game.
Speaking of injury reports, the Kings technically don't have any players missing for this game. We say "technically" because they have three players listed on their official injury report (Isaiah Crawford, Isaac Jones, and Colby Jones), but all of them are only there because they will be missing the game to fulfill the duties of their G-League assignment.
Philadelphia 76ers Injury Report
As we alluded to in the opening, the 76ers are missing quite a few bodies. In fact, according to Spotrac's injury tracker, the 76ers have lost the second most cash to injuries (nearly 35 million dollars) this season, trailing behind only the New Orleans Pelicans.
Anyway, while they have not turned in their official injury report, we know the 76ers will be without Joel Embiid (knee) and Jared McCain (meniscus). The latter will be out for the rest of the season after having surgery earlier this month to repair his torn meniscus.
The status of Paul George, Andre Drummond, KJ Martin, and Caleb Martin will be worth monitoring. We don't know their injury designations yet; however, none of them played in their Tuesday night victory over the Los Angeles Lakers.
After tonight's game, the Kings will travel down south to play the red-hot Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday, February 1.
