George, who has been out for more than a week with his second left knee bone bruise since Oct. 14, was a full participant in Friday’s practice, the team said.

The Philadelphia 76ers have issued an injury update on Joel Embiid and Paul George ahead of their contest with the Detroit Pistons.

Joel Embiid will miss Saturday's game at the Detroit Pistons due to left knee injury management and personal reasons, the Sixers said Friday.

Until that game, Martin had suited up through noticeable physical discomfort multiple times early this season, including with his right shoulder. After playing 13 minutes and shooting 1 for 8 from the floor, the Sixers pulled the plug on Martin’s night in their blowout loss to the Clippers.

George hasn’t cleared that with the Sixers, but it is the time frame he’s targeting. “I’m just still trying to check off more boxes,” George said.

Philadelphia 76ers star Paul George has promised supporters that the team's fortunes will turn around after a shocking start to the season.

Joel Embiid has been ruled out Saturday in Detroit for both left knee management and personal reasons while Paul George was a full participant at practice Friday.

The Sixers, who are off to a nightmarish 2-12 start this year, are teetering on the verge of a lost season in the wake of Paul George's latest knee injury.

The Sixers' All-Star trio of Joel Embiid, Paul George and Tyrese Maxey have played just over 6 minutes together this season.

Here is the full injury report for Paul George and the Philadelphia 76ers as they take on the Detroit Pistons on the road on Saturday.
