Injury Report for the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday, December 15

Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports that 76ers forward, Georges Niang, entered the league’s health and safety protocols.

As a result, Niang will not play in Wednesday’s home game against the Miami Heat. Before rejoining the team, Niang must either quarantine for ten days or produce two consecutive negative tests at least 24 hours apart.

Another player on the 76ers’ injury report is shooting guard Furkan Korkmaz. Korkmaz is dealing with an illness, but it’s not COVID-related. He’s currently listed as questionable for the game.

Nonetheless, the 76ers are still in better shape than the Heat regarding injuries. Miami won’t have the services of Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro, Markieff Morris, and Caleb Martin available for the game. That’s a big reason Philadelphia’s drawing sharp action after opening as a 5.5-point favorite. That number’s already been but up a point to -6.5.
