The San Antonio Spurs played the Philadelphia 76ers on April 6, 2026, with tipoff set for 7:00 PM CT. The game was streamed on NBA League Pass and televised on FanDuel Sports Southwest.
For Philadelphia, the spotlight was on Tyrese Maxey, who was playing with a splint on his injured finger, while Cameron Payne was out with a hamstring injury. Joel Embiid and Paul George should be ready to go, giving the 76ers some of their expected front-line firepower back as they tried to work through another injury-hit stretch.
San Antonio, by contrast, listed no injuries. Victor Wembanyama also had no lasting effects from the hard fall he took on Saturday in Denver, when he was tripped in a game the Spurs lost. That mattered because the Spurs still had four games left in the season and needed to keep their focus on the finish line.

The standings were already set, but the route ahead was not. The Spurs would not know their playoff matchup until after the first game of the play-in tournament, which left the final stretch more about rhythm and health than seeding. That made Wembanyama’s recovery, and his availability, the clearest thread to watch.
Dom Barlow was also expected to test the moment, with a dunk attempt on Wembanyama hanging over the matchup as a small but telling bit of theater. The 76ers had been hampered by injuries all season long, and this game fit the same pattern: a healthy Spurs roster facing a Philadelphia team still trying to put enough of itself on the floor to finish strong.

What happens next is simple enough. The Spurs get four more chances to shape their form before the postseason turns real, and the 76ers keep managing bodies while Embiid and George try to stabilize a lineup that has spent much of the season patched together.
