DETROIT -- As the Philadelphia 76ers prepare for a showdown with the East-leading Detroit Pistons on Thursday night, they will be as short-handed as ever as they look to pick up a much-needed win.
The Sixers already knew they'd be without Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Paul George, and Kelly Oubre Jr., but there were two new injury updates after the team had shootaround on Thursday morning.
Adem Bona (back soreness) has been downgraded from questionable to out against the Pistons. The Sixers also added Andre Drummond to the injury report as he is listed as questionable due to back spasms. If Drummond can't go, then the Sixers will be down all three centers against a Detroit team that relies on physicality up front led by All-Star Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart.
The Sixers are currently the No. 8 seed in the East, but are only a game ahead of the No. 9 seeded Atlanta Hawks. If Philadelphia falls in Detroit while the Hawks take care of business against the Nets, then the Sixers will drop to No. 9 in the play-in tournament.
Tip off from Little Caesars Arena is set for 7 p.m. EDT on Thursday.
