The Philadelphia 76ers entered the NBA season ready to rock following a great offseason. They landed star forward Paul George to pair with Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey.

Embiid is scheduled to be reevaluated in seven to 10 days. The news arrived after Embiid missed the previous six games because of a sprained left foot. The seven-time All-Star has only played in 13 games this season due to the sprained foot, knee swelling, left knee management, right sinus fracture, and a three-game suspension.

Heading into their matchup with the LA Lakers Tuesday night, one of the underlying stories was the return of JJ Redick. The former Philadelphia 76ers guard made his return to the city for the first time as a head coach.

Winning league MVP in 2023, Embiid followed that campaign by playing just 39 games the next season. Having already missed 31 games entering Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers, Embiid is ineligible for season awards due to the league's 65-game minimum rule.

There will be no Process 2.0 here, a half-season tank to ensure Philly retains its '25 first-round pick and lives to fight another season.

Here is the full injury report for Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers as they take on the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night.

The Philadelphia 76ers have won just three of their last 10 games and are 10-21 without Joel Embiid this year. Still, the 76ers brass is confident that Embiid will return to action and lead them to the playoffs.
