The Philadelphia 76ers visit the Toronto Raptors on Sunday, January 11, with injury availability expected to play a major role in a matchup between two teams positioned near the top half of the Eastern Conference standings.
Philadelphia enters at 21-15 and riding a two-game winning streak, while Toronto sits 23-16 after a road loss in Boston on Friday night.
The most significant name on the 76ers’ injury report is Joel Embiid, who is listed as questionable with left knee injury management. Embiid has appeared in 19 games this season and averages 23.5 points and 7.1 rebounds while anchoring Philadelphia’s interior defense.
Kelly Oubre Jr. is listed as available and will play with a knee brace as he continues to work back from a left knee injury. Oubre has averaged 14.5 points and 5.0 rebounds in limited action and provides wing scoring and transition pressure.
Philadelphia’s remaining injury designations are limited to two-way and G League assignments, with MarJon Beauchamp, Johni Broome, and Justin Edwards all listed as doubtful while on assignment.
Toronto’s injury report carries heavier rotation implications, starting with Scottie Barnes, who is questionable with a right knee sprain. Barnes leads the Raptors in minutes and contributes 19.1 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 5.2 assists per game.
RJ Barrett has been ruled out with a left ankle sprain, removing a 19.6-point-per-game scorer and forcing Toronto to redistribute wing usage and secondary creation.
Jakob Poeltl will also miss the game due to a low back strain. His absence affects Toronto’s interior defense, screen setting, and rebounding, particularly against a Philadelphia team that ranks among the league leaders in offensive efficiency.
Brandon Ingram is listed as questionable with a right thumb sprain after averaging 21.8 points and 5.9 rebounds. Chucky Hepburn remains out as he continues recovery from knee surgery.
Philadelphia has already split two meetings with Toronto this season, with each team winning once at home.
