After two getting a two-day break, the Philadelphia 76ers will get back on the floor on Wednesday to face the Houston Rockets. Once again, the Sixers anticipate being without a handful of players, including their All-Star players, Joel Embiid and Paul George.

When the Sixers returned to practice on Tuesday morning, Paul George was limited participant in the session. Last week, George suffered a bone bruise in his knee, the same injury he dealt with at the start of the season. While George is progressing well, he won’t be healthy enough to suit up for Wednesday’s game against Houston.

Neither will Embiid. Unlike George, Embiid didn’t practice with the Sixers on Tuesday. The team ruled both All-Stars out for the third straight game. For Embiid, he’s been dealing with swelling in his knee. The Sixers will continue to monitor his situation, taking it day by day.

The Sixers will have to continue relying on the emerging backcourt of the one-time All-Star Tyrese Maxey and his rookie teammate, Jared McCain.

Last week, the Sixers went into the weekend with a big win over the Brooklyn Nets. As the McCain-Maxey combo hit their stride, the Sixers were able to climb out of their multi-game losing streak.

But then James Harden and the Clippers came to town and put them right back in the loss column. Going into the Wednesday night matchup, the Sixers are 3-13. They are in the Eastern Conference’s 14th seed, just one game ahead of the Washington Wizards, who lost 12 games in a row.
