Nick Nurse thought back to the 76ers’ preseason trip to Abu Dhabi, and how a multitude of injuries (again) forced him to cobble the rotation together for two exhibition games against the New York Knicks.

Perth Scorchers cruised into the Big Bash League final with a 48-run Qualifier victory over Sydney Sixers. The Scorchers, who are the competition's most successful team, topped the group-stage table and appear favourites to win Sunday's final on home turf after another convincing performance.

Pacers star Pascal Siakam tallied 24 points, seven assists and six rebounds. Andrew Nembhard scored 25 points. Paul George (left knee injury management) sat for the Sixers on the first night of a back-to-back. The team will host the Suns on Tuesday.

But that does incur immediate risk, as very few players near veteran's minimum salaries are surefire rotation-caliber pieces. And as Justin Edwards has failed to make an impact in his second NBA season, the Sixers are shallow on the wing. George, Oubre and Edwards are their only traditional options there.

The Philadelphia 76ers will play host to the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday on the second night of a back-to-back and if you're wondering how you can watch all the action live, you've come to the right place. The Sixers will look to keep things moving in the right direction after a win over the Indiana Pacers on Monday to start this back-to-back.
