The Philadelphia 76ers will take on the Washington Wizards on Wednesday at the Wells Fargo Center. Both teams are enduring an inconsistent run in the season, and both will be entering the court on the back of a defeat. Wizards however are in a graver situation as they are struck by three consecutive defeats. The ups and downs have been a part of the 76ers' season as well, nevertheless, they picked up some momentum lately but the sidelining of Joel Embiid simmered their steam. Embiid did not feature in the game against The Suns as well, and consequently, the 76ers lost the game by the scoreline of 99-110. So, after spending considerable time out has he recovered, will he feature in the match against Wizards tonight?
Joel Embiid Injury Report
Joel Embiid will remain seated in the match against the Wizards. The star center sustained a sprain on the left foot during the Christmas Day encounter against Boston Celtics. He will take time to recover and hence will not feature in tonight's matchup.
What adds to the headache of Nick Nurse is that Paul George has also been ruled out of the match against Wizards. Geroge will miss out due to left groin tightness.
With a record of 14-20, 76ers are two games short of the play-in range. The Wizards on the other hand have the worst record in the season. They have also attained 6 wins in the season in response to 28 losses. Thus, despite the absences of Embiid and George, 76ers will still likely take the win.
Besides Embiid and George, Kyle Lowry (right hip soreness), Jared McCain (left knee meniscus surgery) and KJ Martin (left foot stress reaction) have will remain out from the match. Andre Drummond is listed as questionable due to a left toe sprain that sidelined him for five of their last seven games, including their last one.
The Wizards have not yet released their injury report for tonight’s game. One of their most major missings would be Jordan Poole, who is dealing with a left hip contusion. The starting guard has missed the last two games.
