Sixers Welcome Minnesota To Town Tonight

/ CBS Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The 76ers will be back home tonight to take on the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Sixers just completed a holiday road trip against Western Conference squads, going 1-3. The win did come last time out, however, as they held off the Nuggets in Denver on Friday, 124-122.

Philadelphia brings an 8-24 record into tonight while Minnesota is 11-23.

This will be the second and final meeting between these two teams this season. The Timberwolves won the first easily, grabbing a 110-86 decision in Minnesota on November 17.

Center Joel Embiid will play tonight with a 28-minute restriction. Guard Gerald Henderson is questionable (hip) while guard Sergio Rodriguez (ankle) and forward/center Richaun Holmes (concussion) have both been ruled out.

KYW's Matt Leon spoke with Bob Cooney of the Philadelphia Daily News about the 76ers and tonight's game with the Timberwolves.
