The Philadelphia 76ers face a tough challenge against the Denver Nuggets, hoping to end their six-game losing streak. Star forward Paul George returns to the lineup, but the team will be without Joel Embiid.
The Philadelphia 76ers are hitting the road Tuesday night for a matchup against the Denver Nuggets , hoping to break a six-game losing streak . The Nuggets, on the other hand, aim to extend their recent success, having gone 7-3 in their last 10 games. This game, however, lacks the star power matchup many fans anticipated. Both teams feature a Joel Embiid , but alas, they won't be facing off. This will be the first time the two Embiids have squared off since December 2019.
Adding to the Sixers' woes this season has been a string of injuries. Rookie guard Jared McCain, who started strong in his first season, was recently sidelined for the remainder of the year due to a left knee injury. But there is some good news for Philadelphia fans. Despite being listed as questionable earlier today, Sixers star forward Paul George will be available and starting for the team. George is in the midst of his first season on a four-year, $211 million contract and is averaging 17.2 points per game, his lowest mark since the 2011-12 season. The Sixers will be relying on George and their other veteran role players to fill the gaps left by Embiid and other injured players.The Sixers are facing an uphill battle against a strong Nuggets team, but they'll be hoping to pull off the upset. With George back in the lineup and the determination to end their losing streak, the Sixers will look to make a statement in Denver
