August 3, 2020 O'Quinn was one of three players that did not see playing time during Saturday night's 127-121 loss to the Indiana Pacers. The loss put the Sixers a game behind the Pacers for the number five seed in the Eastern Conference.
The Sixers face a Spurs team that is without seven-time All-Star forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who opted to get season-ending shoulder surgery back in June. The Spurs opened bubble-play with a win over Sacramento and squeeked a 108-106 win over Memphis on Sunday. They are currently fighting for a playoff spot.
As for the Sixers, they looked dissappointing on their opening game against the Pacers. The offense struggled outside of Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris, who combined for 71 points, while Ben Simmons lapsed defensively against T.J. Warren, who scored 53 points.
The Sixers are looking to rebound against a Spurs team that will play it's third game in four days. Tip-off is at 8 P.M.
