Star center Joel Embiid has been ruled out for the Philadelphia 76ers' matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers due to a foot injury. This adds to the 76ers' injury woes, with the team facing challenges in scoring and rebounding as they rely on Tyrese Maxey and Paul George to step up in his absence.
Here is the full injury report for Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers as they get set to take on the Cleveland Cavaliers at home on Friday.
Here is the latest on Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid before their matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday.
Paul George scored 30 points, Tyrese Maxey had 29 and the short-handed Philadelphia 76ers beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 132-129.
The depleted 76ers' season is spiraling out of control, and the last thing they need is a matchup with the class of the conference in the Cavaliers. Look for Cleveland to keep Philly's offense contained.
Maxey scored 43 points for the Sixers, who again played without All-Stars Joel Embiid and Paul George among others.
The only longer winning streak for the Lakers this season was a six-game run from Nov. 8-19 that started with a 116-106 home victory over the 76ers. James produced 21 points, 12 rebounds and 13 assists in that contest.
Winning league MVP in 2023, Embiid followed that campaign by playing just 39 games the next season. Having already missed 31 games entering Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers, Embiid is ineligible for season awards due to the league's 65-game minimum rule.
Maxey has his foot on the pedal, putting up 27 first-half points on 8-13 shooting. Yabusele scored 12 and also had four rebounds and two steals, while Eric Gordon added 11, and Kelly Oubre Jr. scored 10. A big part of the turnaround is the exiting of Anthony Davis due to an abdominal injury. He will not return tonight.
