Joel Embiid will miss at least one more game. The Sixers said Friday that Embiid will be out for their Saturday night road contest against the Detroit Pistons due to left knee injury management and personal reasons. Embiid has missed each of the last three games with the left knee injury management designation.
On the bright side, the team said that Paul George was a full participant in the team's Friday practice. George has missed three consecutive games after experiencing the second bone bruise of the young season in his left knee. George suffered the injury nine days ago and appears to be on the verge of making a return to the floor far sooner than he did after his first knee injury of the season, which held him out of action for three weeks.
The Sixers also said that Caleb Martin, who missed his first game of the season on Wednesday due to upper back soreness, was a partial participant in Friday's practice, while Kyle Lowry will miss his fifth straight game Saturday due to a right hip strain.
