76ers Downgrade Several Players vs. Nuggets

On Tuesday night, the Philadelphia 76er look to continue their win streak as they welcome the Denver Nuggets into the Wells Fargo Center.

In their last time out, Joel Embiid made his return to the court, following his three game stint on the bench, erupting for 41 points along with ten rebounds against the Houston Rockets. 

While Embiid returns, several players from Philadelphia's bench make their way onto the injury report, as Danuel House Jr, Mo Bamba, Robert Covington, and Jaden Springer have been downgraded against the Nuggets.

House Jr, who is coming off of a six point, five rebound performance on Monday afternoon, has been downgraded to questionable due to a contusion in his back.

The 30-year-old has had some streaks of riding the bench this season, missing out on 14 games so far.

Bamba is set to continue his injury stint as he was unavailable against the Rockets, due to an impingement in his right knee, with the status holding true against the Nuggets.

Bamba has had a significantly bigger role on the Sixers, helping fill in the void left by Embiid, sharing the task with Paul Reed.

Covington will sit out of the match against Denver due to inflammation in his left knee, which has kept him out of the previous six games.

Prior to his knee injury, Covington was averaging four points on 44 percent shooting, coming off the bench for the most part, apart from three games.

Lastly, there is Springer, who will miss Monday night's match due to tendinitis in his right ankle.

Recently, Springer has been seeing more game time, averaging 13 minutes since the start of the new year, averaging two points and one rebound in that time period.

The Sixers are set to take on the Nuggets on Monday night, with tip-off scheduled for 7:30 p.m. EST.
