The full injury report for Thursday's game between the Philadelphia 76ers and Atlanta Hawks.
The Philadelphia 76ers (30-24) are back in action after the All-Star break to take on the Atlanta Hawks (26-30) Thursday night at 7 PM ET.
Philadelphia has lost three of its last four games, including a 49-point defeat to the New York Knicks without Joel Embiid in the lineup. Meanwhile, Atlanta has fallen short in three consecutive games entering the matchup against the 76ers, with losses coming against the Charlotte Hornets twice and the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Here is the full injury report for 76ers-Hawks:

The following is an update on Embiid's injury from the 76ers courtesy of PHLY Sports' Kyle Neubeck:
"While participating in a right knee injury management program during the All-Star break, Joel Embiid reported soreness in his right shin. Following a consultation with doctors, Embiid has received daily treatment, while progressing through on-court work and strength and conditioning."
The update continued, "He will be OUT of tomorrow night’s game vs. Atlanta and reevaluated ahead of the team's back-to-back this weekend. Further updates will be provided later this week."
For the Hawks, the most notable absence is Kuminga, who has yet to debut for Atlanta. He is averaging 12.1 points on 45.4% shooting this season.
With Embiid and George out of the lineup, this matchup becomes a bit more difficult for Philadelphia. Tyrese Maxey will once again be called upon to play superhero for Philadelphia, as he's done for many games this season.
