Despite forming a formidable trio with Paul George, Joel Embiid, and Tyrese Maxey, the Philadelphia 76ers have encountered significant struggles this season. A key issue has been injuries, which continue to hinder their performance. The latest injury report once again highlights concerns for both Embiid and George.
The 76ers are set to face the Boston Celtics on Sunday, but they will be without their two stars. Embiid remains sidelined due to left knee injury management. This marks his 15th consecutive missed game. So far this season, he has only played 13 games and reached an unexpected missed games milestone.
