Sixers’ Tobias Harris and Marcus Morris Sr. sidelined for Thursday’s game vs. Indiana Pacers
The Sixers will look to extend their winning streak to seven games.
INDIANAPOLIS — Tobias Harris will miss Thursday night’s game against the Indiana Pacers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse with an illness. This comes after the 76ers forward missed the morning shootaround and Wednesday’s practice.
Meanwhile, reserve forward Marcus Morris Sr. also will miss the game against the Pacers (24-20) with left foot plantar fasciitis. He said earlier in the day that he was in a lot of pain and doubted that he would play. Morris planned to test it out at shootaround and again during his pregame workout.
The North Philly native has been receiving early morning treatment on his foot and tries to keep it warm during games.
“I just never had it before,” he said. “So I just have to figure out how to get through the pain. It’s different.”

Jaden Springer (right ankle tendinitis) was available to play Thursday. Mo Bamba (right knee inflammation), Robert Covington (left knee bone bruise), Kenny Lofton Jr. (personal reasons), and De’Anthony Melton (back) will miss the game.
The Pacers will be without All-Star Tyrese Haliburton (left hamstring strain).
The Sixers (29-13) are looking to extend their Eastern Conference-best winning streak to seven games. The Pacers have lost four straight and six of their last seven.
