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.

Embiid should be paired for the first time with nine-time All-Star Paul George, who missed the first five games with a bone bruise. Embiid, George and fellow All-Star Tyrese Maxey were the 76ers’ version of a Big Three that was expected to make them one of the big favorites out of the Eastern Conference.

Joel Embiid had a predictably up-and-down performance across 26 minutes in his season debut for the 76ers, who now stand at 2-8 after a loss Tuesday night to the Knicks.
