Sat Dec 07 01:29:59 UTC 2024: ## Paul George Returns, Embiid Out for Sixers-Magic Clash
**PHILADELPHIA, PA –** The Philadelphia 76ers will face the Orlando Magic on Friday night with a significant change in their lineup. All-Star forward Paul George will return to action after being cleared from the injury report, while center Joel Embiid will miss his seventh consecutive game due to ongoing knee management.
Embiid, who sat out the first nine games of the season before a brief return, has been hampered by swelling. His absence continues to be a concern for the Sixers. George’s return, however, provides a much-needed boost to the team’s offensive capabilities. The game is set to tip off Friday evening.
