The matchup between the 76ers and Warriors will look much different than expected, with several star players ruled out ahead of the final game before the NBA trade deadline.
According to team injury reports, Stephen Curry will miss the game for the Golden State Warriors due to right patellofemoral pain syndrome, commonly known as runner’s knee. The team has Curry listed as day-to-day.
The Warriors will also be without Jimmy Butler III, who is sidelined with a right ACL tear, along with Jonathan Kuminga due to a left patella contusion and Seth Curry, who continues to deal with left sciatic nerve irritation.
Two-way player LJ Cryer is also out with a hamstring injury, while Moses Moody is listed as probable despite knee soreness.
On the other hand, the Philadelphia 76ers will be missing MVP center Joel Embiid due to management of right ankle and knee injuries.
Embiid was limited to 29 games this season but remains a key player when healthy.
Philadelphia will also be without Paul George, who is serving a 25-game suspension.
With both teams missing some core players, the game is expected to feature more role players and backups than usual.
Tip-off is scheduled for 7:00 PM PT, with coverage on NBC Sports Bay Area.
