The Philadelphia 76ers have officially ruled out Joel Embiid and Paul George from the upcoming game against the Orlando Magic, citing concerns over an injury to both players. This decision comes as no surprise, given that Embiid has not played in eight consecutive games, with his last outing dating back to November 8.
Embiid's injury woes have been ongoing since early November, when he initially reported a right knee issue. The Sixers had initially listed him as day-to-day, despite the severity of the problem, and Embiid had been fully participating in practices before being ruled out from playing.
Coach Nick Nurse reiterated that Embiid remains day-to-day, emphasizing that he is "just waiting for doctors to clear" him. This statement has sparked some skepticism among fans and observers, who are eager to see the former NBA MVP return to action.
In related news, Tyrese Maxey was upgraded to available after initially being listed as probable. The Sixers will have to find alternative solutions to fill the void left by Embiid's absence, which is expected to be a significant blow given his immense talent and contributions to the team.
With Embiid set to miss his eighth game in a row, it remains to be seen when he will make his return to the court. The Sixers' decision to err on the side of caution in this regard has sparked concerns among fans, who are eager to see their star player back in action as soon as possible.

. It's hard not to get frustrated when you see your team struggling without one of its best players, but at the same time, you can't blame them for wanting to make sure he's 100% before putting him back on the court.
. It's like, we get it, Embiid has been dealing with injuries, but now that he's day-to-day again, can't you see him practicing and getting back into form?
. His absence is definitely going to be felt, especially against teams like the Magic who are looking to exploit any weakness they can find. The Sixers will need to get creative and figure out ways to compensate for his lack of presence in the paint 
only time will tell, but one thing's for sure - we're all rooting for him to get back on track and help his team win some games! 
.
I feel for Joel Embiid, been waiting 8 games and still no clear return date 
. The Sixers seem cautious, which is fair considering his injury history 
. Fans are getting restless, I get it 
, we've all been in their shoes when our favorite team is missing a key player 
.
and it got me thinking... have you ever seen those videos of birds somehow "playing" with drones? Like, they're chasing the drone around or something? 
I mean, what's up with that? It's like they're trying to communicate or something! And speaking of weird stuff, did you know that some scientists think that maybe birds can actually recognize each other's songs and remember them for years? 
Mind blown, right?
. Like, it was so beautiful that I felt like I was staring at a painting, you know? And then we started talking about how amazing it is to experience those moments of pure beauty in life... anyway, back to Joel Embiid - hope he's feeling better soon! 
. On another note, I think this is an opportunity for Tyrese Maxey to step up and show what he's made of 
. The team can't rely on just one player all the time anyway 
the sixers gotta prioritize his health over tryin 2 rush him back, even if it means losin a game or two. and newsflash: tyrese maxey can do just that!
