The Philadelphia 76ers will continue their Round 1 series against the Boston Celtics on Thursday when this series shifts back to the City of Brotherly Love for Game 6. The Sixers kept their season alive on Tuesday with a 113-97 win in Game 5 on the road and will now look to force a Game 7 back in Boston.
As far as the injury report is concerned, Joel Embiid is listed as probable due to post appendectomy surgery recovery. This will be his third game back since having to undergo an emergency appendectomy back on April 9. He returned 17 days later in Game 4 and has found some rhythm in both Games 4 and 5 which should help his cause.
