The Philadelphia 76ers will welcome the Golden State Warriors for an NBA 2025-26 regular season matchup on Thursday, December 4. This will be the first encounter between both the teams in the current season. The 76ers will head into the fixture on the back of a blowout victory over the Washington Wizards 121-102. The game saw Tyrese Maxey drop a splendid 35-point show, combined with 12 points each from Dominick Barlow and Andre Drummond to guide the side to their 11th win of the season.

On the other hand, the Warriors suffered their third loss in the last five games as they clashed against the Oklahoma City Thunder in their most-recent game. The Dubs were without Stephen Curry for yet another game, and saw a limited performance by Jimmy Butler. The star forward left the game during the second quarter following a hard fall and didn’t return after the break due to a discomfort in knee. As a result, the hosts had to make peace with a dismal performance and drop to the 11th loss of the season.

As the Sixers welcome the seven-time champions on Thursday, let’s see how the injury reports look like for both teams.
