Sixers-Knicks Game 5 Injury Report
Embiid, Covington Questionable for Critical Game
Injury Report for Game 5:
The Philadelphia 76ers will face the New York Knicks in Game 5 of their first-round playoff series on Tuesday evening at Madison Square Garden. The Sixers are currently trailing the series 3-1, making this game crucial for their chances of advancing.
The Sixers have two notable injuries to monitor heading into Game 5. Joel Embiid is listed as questionable with a left knee injury, while Robert Covington is also questionable with a left knee bone bruise. Embiid has been struggling with knee soreness throughout the playoffs, but he has still managed to average 27.3 points and 10.8 rebounds per game. Covington, on the other hand, has been dealing with a bone bruise in his left knee since Game 2 of the series. He has missed the last two games and is questionable to play in Game 5.
The Knicks, meanwhile, are relatively healthy heading into Game 5. However, they will be without Mitchell Robinson, who is out for the season with a foot injury. Robinson has been a key part of the Knicks' defense this season, and his absence will be a blow to their chances of winning Game 5.
The Sixers will need to find a way to slow down the Knicks' offense in Game 5 if they want to win. The Knicks are averaging 116.3 points per game in the series, and they have shot the ball well from beyond the arc. The Sixers will also need to find a way to get Embiid more involved in the offense. Embiid has been held to just 10 points in each of the last two games, and the Sixers will need him to be more productive if they want to win.
