Philadelphia 76ers coach Nick Nurse said both Joel Embiid and Paul George are progressing in their ramp-up process to playing. However, neither Embiid nor George will play this weekend. George was ruled out for the weekend on Thursday, following Embiid being ruled out earlier in the week.
The Sixers play at the Toronto Raptors on Friday and then at the Indiana Pacers on Sunday afternoon. The status for Embiid and George will be updated early next week.
Philadelphia has a light week next week, with home games on Wednesday against the Detroit Pistons and Saturday against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Pistons game has been speculated as the possible season debut for Embiid and George.
