What happened

Adem Bona remains out with a back injury, and Philadelphia hosts Boston on Tuesday after Sunday’s win over Chicago lifted the Sixers to 9-2.

That absence points to more small-ball backup-center minutes for Jabari Walker, who logged a season-high 19:13 against the Bulls and rebounded well.

LINEUP CONTEXT

Walker’s role could stay elevated if Bona remains unavailable, and Boston’s size may force Philadelphia to adjust its frontcourt rotation again.
