The Philadelphia 76ers are set to welcome back a pair of key players, Joel Embiid and Paul George, for their home game against the New York Knicks on Saturday. According to the team's injury report, both big men have been cleared to play despite dealing with injuries.
Embiid, who has only missed two games in the Sixers' last 13 contests due to back-to-backs, returns from a right ankle injury management that had initially kept him out of action for several weeks. After a productive stint on Thursday against the Houston Rockets, where he recorded his first triple-double of the season and showcased remarkable durability, Embiid is poised to continue his impressive form.
On the other hand, Paul George has also been deemed probable for the game after missing the last leg of the team's back-to-back due to left knee injury management. Although coach Nick Nurse reported that George had experienced no setbacks with his knee, some soreness prevented him from playing in both legs of the back-to-back. Nonetheless, George looked sharp down the stretch on Thursday, and he'll look to bounce back from a quiet performance that was hampered by foul trouble.
With Embiid and George set to take the court, the 76ers will be bolstered by the presence of their two superstars, who have been instrumental in the team's recent success. The Knicks, meanwhile, face a stiff test against one of the league's top teams, with Saturday's matchup shaping up as an intriguing showdown between two playoff contenders.
