Embiid Set to Play, Watford to Debut for 3-0 Sixers vs. Wizards as George, McCain, Barlow Out

Philadelphia gains frontcourt cover during a cautious early-season injury plan.

Overview

  • Joel Embiid is not listed on the injury report for Washington after a rest day and continues on a controlled minutes plan following knee surgery.
  • Trendon Watford is cleared to make his 76ers debut after a hamstring issue that kept him out of preseason and the first three games.
  • Paul George (knee), Jared McCain (thumb) and Dominick Barlow (elbow) are officially out for the Wizards game, per the team report.
  • Barlow underwent a procedure for an elbow laceration and will be reevaluated later this week, creating minutes Watford can help cover up front.
  • Philadelphia enters the second night of a back-to-back at 3-0, with McCain progressing to a shooting brace and George still awaiting his season debut.
