James Harden is targeting his return from his strained right foot tendon during hte Philadelphia 76ers' three-game road trip.

Harden will likely return at the Houston Rockets on Monday.

Harden last played on Nov. 2nd. For the season, Harden is averaging 22.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 10.0 assists in 36.8 minutes per game.

The Philadelphia 76ers have agreed to sign Saben Lee to a Two-Way deal.

The Sixers will waive Michael Foster Jr. to create a roster spot for Lee. Foster will be eligible to play for Philadelphia's G League team if he clears waivers.

Lee appeared in 37 games with the Detroit Pistons last season, averaging 5.6 points and 2.3 rebounds in 16.3 minutes.

Joel Embiid will miss the upcoming back-to-back games for the Philadelphia 76ers with a mid-foot strain in his left foot.

Embiid will be reevaluated in the coming days.

The Sixers are already without James Harden and Tyrese Maxey.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey will miss the next three-to-four weeks due to a small fracture in his left foot. Maxey is not expected to need surgery, but will miss nearly a month of action.

Maxey was injured on a drive during Friday's win over the Milwaukee Bucks. After landing awkwardly, Maxey was removed from the game and did not return.

The third-year guard was in the midst of a breakout season for the Sixers. In 15 games, Maxey has averaged 22.9 points, 3.5 rebounds and 4.4 assists, which are all career-highs.

Giannis Antetokounmpo and Montrezl Harrell were involved in a confrontation following the Philadelphia 76ers' 110-102 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night.

The confrontation occurred as Antetokounmpo shot free throws as fans left the arena. Harrell then took the ball from Antetokounmpo.

“This isn’t f—— Milwaukee. Get that s— out of there," yelled Harrell, according to Joe Vardon of The Athletic.

Antetokounmpo, who left the court after Harrell refused to return the ball, came back with two basketballs.

Antetokounmpo then pushed a ladder away from the front of the hoop and returned to shooting free throws as Harrell continued to yell.

After Antetokounmpo left the court for the second time, Thanasis Antetokounmpo attempted to speak to Harrell. Harrell reportedly responded by saying “I’ll beat your a–” and “you better send that s— back to the locker room.”

Antetokounmpo finished the game with 25 points while only shooting 4-of-15 from the free throw line. Harrell finished with 1 point in 5 minutes. 

Tyrese Maxey will undergo an MRI on Saturday after injuring his left foot during the Philadelphia 76ers' 110-102 win over the Milwaukee Bucks.

X-rays for Maxey's ankle returned negative. Maxey was wearing a walking boot after the game, according to Doc Rivers.

Maxey awkwardly landed on his foot while being fouled in transition with 1 minute, 36 seconds left in the first half. 

Maxey is averaging 22.9 points per game on the season. 

The Philadelphia 76ers have begun to revisit the possibility of trading Tobias Harris, sources tell The Athletic.

Harris is averaging 14.7 points and 6.2 rebounds while attempting just 12.1 field goals per game.

Harris has one more season remaining on his five-year, $180 million contract signed in 2019.

Trade talks are expected to intensify leading up to December 15th when players who signed contracts in the offseason become eligible for trade.

The Dallas Mavericks are not interested in trading for Ben Simmons, sources tell Marc Stein of Substack.

Dallas had been mentioned previously as a potential team who could pursue Simmons.

Simmons has struggled as he works his way back from offseason back surgery. 

Simmons has two more seasons remaining on his five-year, $170 million extension signed with the Philadelphia 76ers in 2019.

The Philadelphia 76ers have been scuffling along a bit this season. Joel Embiid started the season out of shape due to plantar fasciitis, and then he had an illness that caused him to miss game. Now, Embiid is rounding into shape and putting up historic stat lines.

In the Sixers win over the Utah Jazz on Sunday, Embiid became the first player ever with at least 50 points, 10 rebounds, five assist and five blocks in the same game. This is since blocks became an official stat in 1973.

Embiid finished with 59 points, 11 rebounds, eight assists and seven blocks. In the fourth quarter alone, Embiid scored 26 of Philadelphia's 27 points. He also recorded five of his seven blocks in the final frame.

For the game, Embiid shot 19-of-28 from the field and 20-of-24 from the free throw line. Over his past two games, has scored 101 points, after dropping 42 on the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday. For the season, Embiid is averaging a career-best 32.3 points per game. 

Joel Embiid only recently returned to the Philadelphia 76ers after an illness. Now, the All-Star big man is dealing with multiple injuries.

Embiid tweaked his ankle in the Sixers win over the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night. When asked if he'd be ok to play in the team's back-to-back against the Utah Jazz on Sunday, Embiid said that was hope.

"I plan on playing but I'm going to see how it reacts tomorrow," Embiid said about his ankle. "It's pretty sore."

The star center said he's also dealing with a painful shoulder injury.

"I don't know what happened but some days I can't lift my arm up," Embiid said when asked about grabbing his shoulder throughout the Hawks game. "When I block shots, I really feel it. I don't what's going on."

Embiid is also still working through conditioning issues. He was unable to work out for most of the offseason due to plantar fasciitis. When he seemed to be rounding into shape, Embiid was sidelined due to illness.
