Full injury report for Joel Embiid, Sixers vs. Thunder back at home
Here is the full injury report for Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers as they take on the Oklahoma City Thunder at home on Monday.
The Philadelphia 76ers will return home to play host to the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder in an effort to keep things moving in the right direction. The Sixers were able to move up to the No. 7 seed with a win over the Utah Jazz on Saturday and will look to keep stacking wins at this stage of the season.
As far as the injury report is concerned, Paul George (league suspension) is out. This is the final game of the suspension and will return on Wednesday against the Chicago Bulls so his return on that night will be a big lift for this group. Tyrese Maxey (right finger tendon injury) and Kelly Oubre Jr.
(left elbow sprain) both remain out. Maxey will be re-evaluated at the end of March and going into April while Oubre should be re-evaluated before the team's road trip beginning on Saturday against the Charlotte Hornets. As for Joel Embiid (right oblique strain), the big fella will remain sidelined.
He has missed the previous 12 games with the injury and will now miss his 13th in a row against the Thunder. Dominick Barlow (left ankle sprain) is listed as doubtful. He left Saturday's win over the Jazz with the issue.
