The Philadelphia 76ers are gearing up for their upcoming matchup with the Washington Wizards on Tuesday, December 2025, but they are dealing with multiple injury issues. Joel Embiid, who made his return from a nine-game absence in the previous game against the Atlanta Hawks, is listed as out for the Wizards game. Embiid, recovering from a right knee injury, is now categorized under right knee injury recovery, a change from his earlier right knee injury management designation.
Reflecting on his emotional return, Embiid shared, “It feels like the first game of the season. You build on it, and I’m not even mad about tonight, I’m just happy I got to play the game of basketball.”
The star center added, “Build on it and go from there next game, whether shots fall or not. I don’t really judge myself based on shots falling. That’s all about how I moved laterally, jumping, all that stuff. Tonight was a good step towards that.”
Paul George’s Status Uncertain
Meanwhile, the 76ers are keeping an eye on Paul George, who remains questionable for the game due to dual injuries. The veteran forward is dealing with left knee injury recovery and lower back tightness, making his participation uncertain.
Andre Drummond, who played only six minutes in the last game, is also questionable due to a right knee injury. Kelly Oubre Jr. and Trendon Watford will not suit up for the game. Oubre Jr. continues to recover from a left knee injury, while Watford is sidelined with a left adductor issue.
