Estatísticas de jogadores e prévia: Sacramento Kings x Philadelphia 76ers (29 de dez. de 2026)

Embiid (right foot injury management) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pacers. Embiid will sit out the front end of this back-to-back set. With Adem Bona (back) and Dominick Barlow (back) sidelined, Dean Wade, Jabari Walker and Tacko Fall could all see increased playing time, while LeBron James could also see more time at the five as well.

Barlow (back) participated in Thursday's shootaround but doesn't have a timeline to return to game action, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports. Barlow has been dealing with back soreness dating back to the preseason, so his participation in shootaround is an encouraging step. However, the 76ers have yet to provide a firm return date, and he'll likely need to ramp up further before he's cleared to play. Barlow should be monitored in deeper formats, but he isn't someone who needs to be rostered while he remains sidelined.

Bona (back) will be re-evaluated in approximately one week after seeing a specialist, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports. The fact that Bona needed to see a specialist suggests the injury may be more significant than initially thought, and he'll remain sidelined for at least the next several games. Even when healthy, the big man has seen his role shrink with Joel Embiid (foot) back in the rotation, averaging just 0.7 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in four appearances outside of his 25-minute effort against the Pistons in late October. In Bona's absence, Jabari Walker could see a few more minutes as Philadelphia's backup center.

Hukporti has sustained a season-ending ruptured right Achilles tendon, per Shams Charania of ESPN. 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. Reported out for season.

Injury/Illness - Left Ankle Soreness (2026-11-15, OKC@SAC). Prior reporting (2026-11-15): Achiuwa (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Thunder. Achiuwa missed Friday's 120-107 loss to Portland due to left ankle soreness, and that same ailment will keep him questionable for Sunday's home tilt against OKC. Keegan Murray got the start in place of Achiuwa, which would likely be the case again if the latter is sidelined.

Injury/Illness - Right Achilles Tendon Repair / Surgery (2026-11-15, OKC@SAC). Prior reporting (2026-10-21): Simmons underwent successful surgery Tuesday to repair a torn right Achilles tendon, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports. Simmons had a quality preseason, averaging 10.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists over 17.4 minutes per contest (two games). The 30-year-old was on track to suit up for the Kings on opening night, though those plans were halted after he suffered a torn Achilles tendon during practice. Now, Simmons will focus on rehab. However, it's unknown what the future holds regarding his career in the NBA. Previously reported out for season.

G League - Two-Way (2026-11-15, OKC@SAC).

Injury/Illness - Right Patella Subluxation (2026-11-15, OKC@SAC). Prior reporting (2026-11-15): Raynaud (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Thunder. Raynaud will miss his 13th consecutive game to start 2026-27 after injuring his knee during the preseason. It sounds like the Frenchman is getting closer to making his season debut, with his next chance to do so coming Wednesday versus Phoenix.
