The full injury report for Monday's game between the Philadelphia 76ers and Portland Trail Blazers.
The Philadelphia 76ers (30-22) are taking on the Portland Trail Blazers (25-28) on Monday evening at 10 PM ET.
Philadelphia is entering this game winning six of their last seven matchups, including victories over the Phoenix Suns and Golden State Warriors. The Sixers' only loss in that span came against Austin Reaves and the Los Angeles Lakers. Meanwhile, the Blazers are coming off back-to-back victories over the Memphis Grizzlies but fell short in six straight games prior to that.
Here is the full injury report for 76ers-Trail Blazers:
76ERS
Joel Embiid: Questionable - Right Knee; Injury Management
Paul George: Out - League Suspension
Kelly Oubre Jr.: Available - Left Knee; Injury Recovery - Brace
TRAIL BLAZERS
Deni Avdija: Questionable - Low Back; Strain
Scoot Henderson: Probable - Left Hamstring; Injury Management
Damian Lillard: Out - Left Achilles Tendon; Injury Management
Kris Murray: Out - Lumbar; Strain
Shaedon Sharpe: Out - Left Calf; Soreness
Matisse Thybulle: Out - Right Knee; Tendinopathy
Robert Williams III: Questionable - Left Knee; Injury Management
This is the fifth game of George's suspension for violating the league's anti-drug policy.
Embiid showing up on the injury report as questionable shouldn't come as a surprise to those closely following the team. He was listed as questionable prior to the games against the Suns and Lakers but suited up for both contests. The hope is he'll do the same tonight, where he will once again look to thrive against a weaker frontcourt.
In the victory against the Suns, Embiid tallied 33 points and nine rebounds on 9 of 19 shooting in 33 minutes of action.
The Blazers have a chance to be without their two leading scorers in Monday's matchup. Sharpe, who averages 21.4 points, is already listed as out due to a calf injury, but Avdija's status remains up in the air. The first-time All-Star is averaging 25.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 6.7 assists this season.
If Avdija is unable to go, Portland's chances of emerging victorious drop significantly.
