- Sixers face Nuggets with seven players due to virus, injuries
- Embiid, Simmons, Curry and Harris among missing starters
Nikola Jokic had 15 points and 12 assists to lead the Denver Nuggets past Philadelphia 115-103 on Saturday, beating a 76ers team that had only seven available players because of injuries and Covid-19 protocols.
The Sixers tipped without four regular starters All-Stars Ben Simmons (sore left knee) and Joel Embiid (back) due to injury, and Seth Curry and Tobias Harris over virus concerns. Coach Doc Rivers said he didn’t think the game should be played.
