Payne, Lowry, Bamba, Harris and Oubre for Sixers.

Doug Smith @SmithRaps
RJ Barrett remains out for the Raptors vs Sixers. Quickley, Agbaji, Barnes, Poeltl, Boucher, Carton likewise on the shelf – 5:24 PM
Josh Lewenberg @JLew1050
Nurse on coaching Lowry again: “He’s done a lot of the stuff that he’s always done. He’s a good organizer. I think he’s really helped our defence get better. He certainly understands a lot of the things we want to do as a coaching staff and he makes sure they get done out there” – 4:49 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Robert Covington has also joined the Sixers on this trip. Just ran into him in the pregame locker room. – 4:47 PM
Josh Lewenberg @JLew1050
Of the 10 available Raptors players today, Nick Nurse only coached 1 in Toronto (Trent Jr). He was coaching the team less than a year ago.
Asked him about the Raps’ roster turnover: “We’ve had enough to worry about with our own team…My total focus is on Philadelphia right now” – 4:46 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Nick Nurse said that Embiid participated in Saturday’s light practice in Toronto, and that some of that session was “geared toward him.” – 4:43 PM
Eric Koreen @ekoreen
Nurse says Joel Embiid is in the “famous two words: ramp up” stage. He is with the team on this road trip, and the sixers worked on some stuff involving him in drills. (No indication this was any high level, contact stuff by any means.) – 4:41 PM
Eric Koreen @ekoreen
No update on Maxey – 4:32 PM
Eric Koreen @ekoreen
RJ Barrett remains out vs Sixers – 4:21 PM
Michael Grange @michaelgrange
RJ Barrett will not play vs. Sixers as he continues to ramp up his conditioning after being out for personal reasons. – 4:20 PM
Josh Lewenberg @JLew1050
RJ Barrett remains out of the lineup vs Philly today. He’s still in the process of reconditioning, per Darko. – 4:18 PM

Philadelphia 76ers superstar Joel Embiid is reportedly slated to come back some time this week.
But @PompeyOnSixers tells @DarthAmin and @talkhoops he’s wondering if Embiid is healthy enough to play. pic.twitter.com/GwXPViMCjg4:18 PM

Toronto has now recorded 30-or-more assists in a single-season franchise-high 33 times this season — currently third-best in the league — surpassing their previous record (20) that was set in the 2018-19 Championship season. – 4:11 PM

Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Tyrese Maxey has been added to the Sixers’ injury report, listed as questionable for tonight’s game in Toronto with left hip tightness. He’s obviously had some of his biggest personal performances against the Raptors over the years. – 2:53 PM
