Paul George — left knee injury management — PROBABLE

Embiid has been in the midst of the best stretch of health enjoyed by the former NBA MVP in over two years, playing in seven of the Sixers' last eight games. His lone absence during that stretch was on the front end of the team's back-to-back against the Toronto Raptors.
George was scratched just moments before tip-off of Sunday's game with left knee soreness but suited up the following night, a sign that the nine-time All-Star had avoided anything serious. Edgecombe briefly left Sunday's game in the fourth quarter in some sort of discomfort, but did not go to the locker room and returned to the game in short order.
