Joel Embiid listed as questionable for Sixers-Mavericks Tuesday

On By Littum

Hours after an exercise on Monday morning when Sixers head coach Nick Nurse said all players apart from Jared McCain were participants, Sixers has released an injury report for Tuesday evening’s home game against the new look Dallas Mavericks. It looks much better than it usually has this season:

Player Damage Status
Joel Embiid Left knee injury handling QUESTIONABLE
Eric Gordon Left knee tenderness QUESTIONABLE
Caleb Martin Right hip displacement QUESTIONABLE
Kj Martin Left foot stress fracture QUESTIONABLE
Other drummond Left -Damage Record QUESTIONABLE
Paul George Left finger extensor tendon injury OUT
Jared McCain Torn left meniscus OUT

EMBIID, who has not played since January 4 due to a foot stew and increased swelling of the knee, has missed 15 consecutive matches, while a finger stunning is later revealed to be an injury to the extensor tendon has cost Paul George three matches Since the end of the team’s 25th January win early.

Before Sixers fell to Boston Celtics Sunday night, nurse said he thought the team was “A little closer” to seeing their wounded players return and that “the rest of them” could be back later this week. The team has been decimated by injuries for almost their entire season, one of the primary factors behind a massively disappointing 19-29 record.
