Markelle Fultz, Dario Saric Available Tonight Vs. Celtics; 2 Starters Out

JJ Redick and Robert Covington (rest) won't play for the Sixers tonight in preseason game No. 3 in Boston, but Brett Brown will get two key players back. 

Markelle Fultz is available for the Sixers tonight after missing Friday's home game against the Celtics with a shoulder injury. Dario Saric is also available after missing each of the first two preseason games to rest. 

Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot (right knee) and James Michael McAdoo (left hamstring) will also be available tonight. 

Joel Embiid remains out but is back in Philadelphia training and will rejoin the Sixers on Monday night.

The Sixers will be without center Richaun Holmes for at least three weeks as he recovers from a non-displaced fracture in the radial bone of his left wrist suffered in Friday's loss to Boston.

The Sixers are 0-2 this preseason and have two games left after tonight: at Brooklyn on Wednesday and vs. Miami on Friday. 

The regular season begins for the Sixers on Wednesday, Oct. 18 at Washington.
