76ers Face Uncertainty with Embiid and George Ahead of Season Opener

Injuries to Joel Embiid and Paul George put Philadelphia's revamped roster under early pressure as they prepare to face the Milwaukee Bucks.

Joel Embiid is sitting out the preseason due to knee management, raising concerns about his availability for the regular season opener.
Paul George suffered a bone bruise in his left knee during a preseason game, leading to uncertainty about his participation in the upcoming match against the Bucks.
76ers coach Nick Nurse will assess Embiid and George's readiness early next week to determine their status for the season opener.
