For the game, they will remain without one of their best players, as Paul George has been ruled out.

George has missed each of the first three games, so this will be his fourth straight out of the lineup.

Via Michael Scotto of HoopsHype on Tuesday: "Joel Embiid and Paul George are out tomorrow versus the Detroit Pistons. They participated in portions of practice today, and will be re-assessed later in the week, Sixers say."
