The Philadelphia 76ers received a boost in the injury report for their upcoming game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, with several key players looking to return from injuries. Joel Embiid, who has been enjoying a prolonged period of health after nearly two years, is listed as probable despite dealing with left knee injury management and left adductor soreness. This development comes as a welcome relief for the Sixers, who have seen their former NBA MVP play in seven out of the last eight games.
Paul George, another crucial player, is also probable, having suffered from left knee soreness but appearing to be on track to avoid any serious issues after playing through it both Sunday and Monday. The nine-time All-Star's decision to play through the pain suggests he may be more than just a scratch - his participation in consecutive games against Toronto shows he was able to manage his condition effectively.
VJ Edgecombe, who briefly left Sunday's game due to discomfort, is also probable, having been cleared after experiencing some sort of issue. While this could raise concerns about the player's durability, it appears that the team views him as being on the mend and ready to return.
These injuries are significant for the 76ers, who have struggled with consistency throughout their season so far. However, if these players can stay healthy and continue performing at a high level, they may be able to make a deep run in the playoffs. With Embiid's likely presence, along with George's probable participation, the Sixers are poised for another strong outing against the Cavaliers on Wednesday night.
