Embiid, George Questionable for Pacers as Sixers Manage Left Knees

Philadelphia is managing left knee issues with an eye on a back-to-back.

Overview

  • Joel Embiid and Paul George are listed as questionable for Monday's home game against the Pacers due to left knee injury management.
  • The game tips at 7 p.m. ET at Xfinity Mobile Arena and is the third contest of a six-game homestand following two losses to the Cavaliers.
  • Their statuses come after recent probable designations, with reporting noting the call coincides with the front end of a back-to-back that concludes against the Suns on Tuesday.
  • Neither Embiid nor George has played both nights of a back-to-back this season, and George was a very late scratch in one such game against Toronto.
  • Rookie Jared McCain is doubtful after a weekend G League assignment, having logged 15 points, five rebounds and six turnovers in a Blue Coats loss to the Noblesville Boom.
