76ers Face Magic Without Joel Embiid and Paul George

Philadelphia aims for a third straight win while navigating injuries to key players and a demanding schedule.

  • Joel Embiid remains sidelined due to knee injury management and personal reasons, having played only four games this season.
  • Paul George, who recently returned from a knee injury, will also miss the game after playing a season-high 37 minutes in Tuesday's win over Charlotte.
  • The 76ers are seeking their third consecutive victory after a challenging 5-14 start to the season.
  • Orlando Magic will also be without star forward Paolo Banchero, who is recovering from a torn oblique, and key contributors Gary Harris and Goga Bitadze are either out or questionable.
  • Both teams face fatigue concerns, with the 76ers playing on back-to-back nights and the Magic coming off a road-heavy schedule.
