Nerlens Noel and Robert Covington Both Out Thursday Against the Spurs

In addition to missing center Joel Embiid for the fourth consecutive game due to a bone bruise in his knee, the Philadelphia 76ers will be without both Nerlens Noel (illness) and Robert Covington (hand) for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. 

This makes an already thing Sixers team that much weaker going up against the Spurs on Thursday. It also means that Jahlil Okafor and Dario Saric should see a ton of action in this one. 

Okafor is averaging 15.5 points in the past two games — both with Embiid sidelined. Meanwhile, Saric is averaging 9.9 points and 5.8 rebounds in his rookie season.
