Philadelphia 76ers Injury Report: Will Joel Embiid and Paul George play against Lakers? (Jan. 28)

The Philadelphia 76ers are set to host the LA Lakers in an interconference matchup on Tuesday. The Sixers will be without two of their key superstars, Joel Embiid and Paul George, both of whom have been ruled out for the game. Additionally, three other Sixers players are listed as out on the team's injury report.

Embiid, who is recovering from a left knee injury, was spotted shooting jumpers during Monday's practice session. The 7-foot center participated in some drills with the second unit but has not yet been cleared to return to action.

"He was in most of (practice)," coach Nick Nurse said. We work with those guys that are going to be playing tomorrow, mostly. He was in all of the drills, but kind of with the next unit or whatever, just to get him re-acclimated and playing in part of the practice."

Paul George is currently sidelined with a finger injury, and an official update on his condition is still pending. However, he has been ruled out of the matchup against the Lakers and did not participate in Monday’s practice session.

Andre Drummond (left toe injury recovery), Caleb Martin (right hip sprain) and KJ Martin (left foot stress reaction) will also remain unavailable for the Sixers.

On a positive note, there is optimism regarding Guerschon Yabusele’s availability as he is listed as "probable" due to right knee swelling.
