Boban Marjanovic to undergo MRI for right knee injury

Boban Marjanovic will undergo an MRI on Tuesday after injuring his right knee in the Philadelphia 76ers’ 111-110 win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday night.

Marjanovic was playing extra minutes because Joel Embiid is out with a knee injury. The 7-foot-3 center had 12 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks in 20 minutes before getting hurt in the fourth quarter during a scramble for a loose ball.

Marjanovic has been with Philly for six games since being acquired from the Clippers along with Tobias Harris. This was his second double-double for the Sixers.
