For Portland, Shaedon Sharpe will remain out with a right fibula stress reaction, while Robert Williams III is questionable with knee injury management.
The 76ers are trying desperately to maintain their spot in the Eastern Conference standings, but they have slipped all the way down to ninth due to a winning streak by the Atlanta Hawks . With Embiid's health not seeming to get any better, and Maxey now sidelined for at least the next couple of weeks, some have floated the possibility of the 76ers embracing a full-on tank for the rest of the season, just as they did last year, which culminated in them drafting VJ Edgecombe .
Tipoff for the matchup vs the Blazers is set for 6:00 pm ET.
