The Sixers will also be without Andre Drummond (illness) and Tyrese Maxey, who will miss yet another game for a strained hamstring.

Joel Embiid and Paul George will both sit out for the Philadelphia 76ers against the Cleveland Cavaliers on the second night of a back-to-back.

Joel Embiid has said he may never play in another back-to-back for the Philadelphia 76ers, and he won’t this week. Both Embiid and Paul George will sit out Wednesday’s game with the unbeaten Cleveland Cavaliers (12-0) due to left knee injury management. The Sixers (2-8) are also playing without Tyrese Maxey (hamstring).
