Paul George Sidelined, Joel Embiid Active vs. Pacers; Jared McCain Returns from G League
In an upcoming matchup, the Philadelphia 76ers will host the Indiana Pacers at Xfinity Mobile Arena. This match marks the first of an eighth back-to-back series for the Sixers.
Paul George Sidelined for Injury Management
Notably absent from the lineup is Paul George. Initially listed as questionable, he has been officially ruled out due to left knee injury management. His absence comes as the 76ers prepare for their busy schedule.
Joel Embiid’s Status for the Game
Joel Embiid will start against the Pacers. He had been listed as questionable for both left knee management and illness. The illness designation was updated shortly before the game.
This situation adds an interesting layer to the match, as both players have not participated in games without rest this season. The Sixers face a quick turnaround, playing the Phoenix Suns the following night.
Jared McCain Returns from G League
In roster news, Jared McCain is back with the Sixers after a brief stint with the Delaware Blue Coats. McCain played 30 minutes but struggled, scoring only 15 points on 18 shots, accompanied by six turnovers. Despite this, he is available for the game against the Pacers.
Injuries Impacting the Pacers’ Lineup
The Indiana Pacers will also face significant challenges, as they will be without key players Tyrese Haliburton, Bennedict Mathurin, and Obi Toppin. Their absence could significantly impact the team’s performance against the 76ers.
