Joel Embiid, Indiana Pacers and Philadelphia 76ers
As the 2024-25 season progresses, one thing remains constant: the Philadelphia 76ers have a stacked injury report. Thankfully for the Indiana Pacers, amid an 8-2 stretch in their previous 10 games, they host the battered 76ers on Saturday. Moreover, in theme with the 2024-25 season, the Pacers vs. 76ers injury report revealed a banged-up MVP.
Philadelphia 76ers star Paul George has shown different versions of his skills on each team. But the Indiana Pacers remain special. PG-13 started his career in Indianapolis after the team drafted him as the 10th overall pick in 2010.
Unorthodox lineups and the loss of starters due to injury have the Sixers reeling in the midst of a road trip.
Embiid is scheduled to be reevaluated in seven to 10 days. The news arrived after Embiid missed the previous six games because of a sprained left foot. The seven-time All-Star has only played in 13 games this season due to the sprained foot, knee swelling, left knee management, right sinus fracture, and a three-game suspension.
Embiid has experienced some swelling in his left knee after a workout he had on Thursday and he will be re-evaluated in 7-to-10 days which means he will also miss the Jan. 24 matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers. One has to wonder if he will return on Jan. 25 against the Chicago Bulls, but that remains to be seen.
Joel Embiid will miss at least three more games as he continues to recover from another injury to his left knee.
Tyrese Maxey and the 76ers played the Pacers to begin a road trip. Joel Embiid, Paul George and Guerschon Yabusele were all sidelined.
After wrapping up a three-game trip on the road, the Philadelphia 76ers returned to their practice court on Thursday morning to prepare for a Friday night match
