George suffered multiple left knee injuries during his debut season with the Sixers, making just 41 appearances, while also being derailed by ailments related to his finger and groin. The nine-time All-Star re-injured his left knee during the offseason, requiring an arthroscopic procedure in July. George has yet to play in 2025-26 despite being a full participant in Sixers practices for a month, causing significant frustration among fans. The last substantive update on George’s status came Tuesday, when the Sixers said his final step before returning was to strengthen his left quadriceps.
Embiid, who has played in half of the Sixers’ dozen games early in the season, hasn’t appeared in a game since Nov. 8, his best and longest performance of the campaign so far. The next day came his fourth absence of the season; all four missed games came as scheduled rest days as the team treated his sore left knee. But he has missed the Sixers’ last two games due to soreness in his right knee, although imaging confirmed there is no structural damage. Its name has been changed from ‘right knee pain’ to ‘management of right knee injuries’.
Elsewhere, the Sixers said Sunday afternoon that Kelly Oubre Jr. and Adem Bona would both be out for Monday’s game. Oubre suffered a left knee hyperextension during Friday’s loss to the Detroit Pistons, causing him to miss the second half of the game. The Sixers said Sunday that Oubre’s injury involved his LCL and his return timeline was unclear. His official designation on the injury report: “sprained left knee.”
Bona, meanwhile, suffered a sprained right ankle in Detroit and will miss at least three games, starting with Monday’s game. The first time Bona could return is Thursday night in Milwaukee, the second leg of the team’s next back-to-back.
Jared McCain, who missed the Sixers’ last game because he was on assignment in the G League, has been recalled to the team, practiced with the group on Sunday and will be part of the rotation on Monday, according to Nurse. It’s officially available.
