Tyrese Maxey, VJ Edgecombe, Paul George, Dominick Barlow and Joel Embiid will start Sunday's game against the Lakers.Embiid and George are good to go after being listed as probable on the initial injury report. While the latter's availability does not necessitate a change to the lineup, since he played in Friday's win over the Bucks, Embiid's return means Andre Drummond will come off the bench. Also of note, Edgecombe's minutes restriction should be lifted soon, but it probably won't happen on Sunday.
Joel Embiid (knees) has been upgraded to probable for Sunday's matchup with the Lakers.Embiid should reclaim his starting spot, which should push Andre Drummond back to the bench. Drummond should serve as Embiid's primary backup with Adem Bona picking up any remaining enter minutes.
Joel Embiid (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lakers.Embiid did not play in Friday's win over the Bucks, so Andre Drummond started and Adem Bona slotted in as his backup. Expect the same rotation if the 76ers can't get their starting center back for the team's final game of Week 7.
