Here is the full injury report for Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers as they take on the Detroit Pistons in the NBA Cup on Friday.

As the Sixers said after Thursday's practice, Paul George remains out for Friday's game. The nine-time All-Star has yet to play this season as he recovers from an arthroscopic procedure performed on his left knee in July, with the final steps of his recovery focused on strengthening his left quadricep.

Joel Embiid will remain sidelined with right knee soreness when the 76ers face the Detroit Pistons in Friday night’s East Group B game of the NBA Cup at Little Caesars Arena. The 76ers center has missed the last two games.

In other injury matters, the Sixers continued to list Joel Embiid (right knee soreness) and Paul George (left knee injury recovery) as out. Jared McCain is on G League assignment. VJ Edgecombe was listed as questionable because of back spasms.

Miller surmised that the Sixers are caught between a rock and a hard place. As mentioned, Joel has already made it clear that he is not happy with the minutes he's playing, especially since he can't get into a clear rhythm being yanked in and out of the game.

The Philadelphia 76ers received some very good news after Joel Embiid's latest injury scare involving his right knee.

The Sixers released their injury report ahead of their second NBA Cup matchup against the Detroit Pistons. VJ Edgecombe’s name has popped up — he is listed as questionable with back spasms. He did take a couple of hard falls in his most recent game against the Boston Celtics, but this blog won’t speculate any further.
