The Philadelphia 76ers will be missing star players Joel Embiid and Paul George for their game against the Washington Wizards. Both players are dealing with injuries, leaving the Sixers shorthanded as they try to climb out of a difficult spot in the Eastern Conference standings.
Once again, the Sixers plan to roll shorthanded. The veteran center Joel Embiid continues dealing with a foot sprain, which will affect his availability for Wednesday’s action.
At this stage in the season, the Sixers are still climbing out of a tough spot. After having one of the most disappointing starts in the NBA, the Sixers bounced back and got on the right track as they found consistency in the health department. Wednesday’s game should be on the lighter side for Philadelphia, as they host a rebuilding Washington Wizards squad. At 6-28 on the year, the Wizards are currently stuck in place behind the Toronto Raptors and the Charlotte Hornets.
