Paul George and Joel Embiid will miss their second consecutive games due to their respective left knee injuries. George is dealing with a left knee bone bruise he suffered in a loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday while Embiid is dealing with swelling in his left knee that caused him to be scratched from Friday's win over the Brooklyn Nets.

Embiid missed the entire preseason and first six games of this regular season with left knee injury management before serving a three-game league suspension. He made his season debut against the New York Knicks on Nov. 12 only to miss the following night’s game due to managing the knee.

It wasn't exactly a secret the 76ers were having a team meeting Monday night after dropping to 2-11 — they didn't open the locker room for about an hour after the game and didn't speak to the media until then.
