NBC Sports76ers coach Nick Nurse said before Wednesday's game against Cleveland that Paul George and Joel Embiid are expected to play on Friday against Orlando.

Despite George and Embiid's bodies responding well after Tuesday's loss to the Knicks, they will not play against the undefeated Cavaliers. They're expected to play on Friday, and George will not be under any restrictions regarding playing time. That's good news for managers who have him rostered, while Embiid managers will have to wait a little longer for his restrictions to be removed.

NBC SportsAndre Drummond (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.

Drummond was a late addition to the injury report, even on the second night of a back-to-back. With Joel Embiid also out, Guerschon Yabusele and Adem Bona will be their options down low against Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen, though the latter is still listed as questionable.

NBC SportsAndre Drummond (illness) is questionable to play against Cleveland on Wednesday.

This is the second night of a back-to-back, which means that Joel Embiid has already been ruled out. Drummond will start if he plays, but if he isn't able to suit up, they'll match up against a giant frontcourt without their top two centers. Adem Bona may be forced to take on a significant role, but he hasn't really been of the team's rotation this season. Guerschon Yabusele is another option as an undersized big man.

NBC SportsPaul George and Joel Embiid will miss Wednesday's matchup with the Cavaliers due to left knee injury management.

No surprises here, as both players will sit out the second half of Philly's Tuesday-Wednesday back-to-back set. Availability for back-to-backs should be a major concern for both players until further notice. With Tyrese Maxey out of action, Jared McCain figures to get the biggest boost in fantasy value.
