Sixers Rule Joel Embiid, Paul George Out for Wednesday vs Houston
Sixers center Joel Embiid, forward Paul George, and guard Kyle Lowry will not play Wednesday as Philadelphia hosts the Houston Rockets at the Center.
The trip did not participate in Tuesday's practice, and the Sixers will continue to play without them as they look to turn their season around. Guerschon Yabusele and Jared McCain started in place of Embiid and George on Friday and Sunday.
Philadelphia enters the game at 3-13 while dealing with Embiid and George's absences.
Head coach Nick Nurse has mixed and matched his lineups, using Guerschon Yabusele in the starting lineup over Andre Drummond. Jared McCain has also been inserted into the lineup with George out.
One other name that might miss the game is Caleb Martin who is dealing with low back soreness. He did not practice on Tuesday an is listed as questionable for the game on Wednesday night.
Meanwhile, the Rockets are 12-6 and lead the Southwest Division.
After this, the Sixers will face an improved Detroit Pistons team on Saturday and head to Charlotte on Tuesday night.
