Philadelphia 76ers

Tacko Fall

C

Fall remains sidelined with a left quadriceps strain. Once cleared to make his season debut, the two-way player could see most of his action come with the G League's Delaware Blue Coats.

Dean Wade

F

Wade is aiming to make his 76ers debut Thursday. His eventual return from an ankle sprain could slightly cut into Kentavious Caldwell-Pope's minutes on the wing.

Dominick Barlow

F

The back issue cost Barlow the entire preseason, and now he'll begin the regular season on the sidelines. The earliest we could see Barlow back on the court would be Nov. 2, but it wouldn't be shocking to see his absence extend beyond this loose, two-week window.

Ariel Hukporti

C

Hukporti went down with an Achilles injury in Monday's preseason opener against the Knicks, and an MRI has since revealed a rupture. He signed a one-year deal with the 76ers over the summer, so Hukporti will be an unrestricted free agent come season's end. With Hukporti's year already finished, Adem Bona (foot) should assume the backup center role behind Joel Embiid once healthy.
