Joel Embiid and Paul George have both been ruled out by the Philadelphia 76ers for their game on Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers, which is the second night of a back-to-back.
Both players are managing left knee injuries, and the team is taking a cautious approach to their health.
The Sixers suffered a tough 111-99 defeat to the New York Knicks on Tuesday. Embiid, making his season debut, scored 13 points, grabbed three rebounds, and dished out five assists in 26 minutes of play.
George, despite the loss, had an impressive performance, recording 29 points, 10 rebounds, and three assists.
As the Sixers look ahead to Wednesday’s game against the undefeated Cavaliers, they will need to find a way to compete without two of their key players.
With a 2-8 record heading into the game, the team is looking for a much-needed win, though they face a tough challenge against Cleveland’s strong start to the season.
