INJURY REPORT: Manu Ginobili (adductor strain) and Kawhi Leonard (upper respiratory infection) are both out for tonight’s Spurs-Sixers game.

I hope Kawhi's injury isn't Pop's loose description of bruised ribs from that fall

[UNT Eagles 2016]

if the Sixers get their first win of the season on the Spurs' home court after dropping the first 9, I'm done

nah, colds have been going around.... dude needs to pop a few azithromycin and he'll be fine in a day or two.

[Robz4000]

Pop trying to do Brown a solid imo

[loveforthegame]

Has Simmons been recalled?

I'd rather Leonard and Manu be rested for Portland on Monday than going through the motions tonight against Philly.

Hopefully Anderson steps up and Butler continues to do his thing. McCullum should get some burn too.

Has Simmons been recalled?

I'm sure he has. He didn't play in Cedar Park last night.

[HarlemHeat37]

With Manu out, Anderson will have a shot to play with the ball in his hands vs. the worst team in the NBA..nice game for him to showcase his skills, hopefully..

I'd argue the Nets and Lakers are worse, but yeah, if Fathead can't produce here then he's got a long way to go.

[HarlemHeat37]

Ya, Lakers are probably worse, but regardless, point stands..

[apalisoc_9]

The sixers are the only team left wihtout a win.would be embarasing if they lose tbh.

[apalisoc_9]

Will be good for manu six man aspiration if the spurs lose though

[dweaver99027]

Sixers have absolutely no offensive talent other than Okafor. But they bust their asses on D. Teams that execute well and especially teams who play disciplined defense and rotate well give them fits, even more than usual. Spurs are probably the worst matchup for the Sixers in the league, along with the Warriors. Spurs should win this even with Boban and West playing starter minutes.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Sixers by 76+

what's with these guys forgetting riga time smh

Don't know....

Stay healthy. Stay focused. Get the win.

A little worried that Tony and Boris could be (very understandably) distracted by the events in Paris, and with Manu and Kawhi out, this could be a bit of a trap game.

That said, Spurs by 16...

[Horry Hipcheck]

Simmons has indeed been recalled from Austin.

[littlecoyotecoin]

nah, colds have been going around.... dude needs to pop a few azithromycin and he'll be fine in a day or two.

Do you often treat viral conditions with antibiotics?

Now, if you would have suggested he take it for any future chlamydia eye infections, you might make some sense.

[spursistan]

Blazerball night for Aldridge with Kawalpha out..He will be touching it a ton and if this one is close in the 4th he could get his first 30-point game for us..

[apalisoc_9]

The spurs need to use this opportunity to get Danny Green and the three ball in general going..This Parker perfect.opprtunity to play pnr with duncan,lma.and the others

[cd98]

Can't see Simmons playing unless we're up 30. But that's me. I just think he's not that good.
