As the Philadelphia 76ers prepare to face the New York Knicks on January 15, 2025, injuries plague both teams. The 76ers have eight players, including Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, listed on their injury report.

Another game, another absence on the way for Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid. With the New York Knicks in town on Wednesday night, the Sixers are looking to complete a back-to-back set ...

Embiid’s played in just total 13 games thus far for the Sixers, who entered Wednesday 11th in the Eastern Conference standings at 15-23. He’s been sidelined by everything from troubles with his left knee and foot to a sinus fracture that’s led him to wear a protective mask in games since Dec. 20.

Joel Embiid will not play in the 76ers' matchup vs. the Knicks. Tyrese Maxey and Paul George, however, could return from injury.

The Knicks are currently dealing with injuries to both Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns - two of the better players in the league. Towns have already been listed as Out for Wednesday's contest. It's New York's chief rival, though, that is turning heads with some of the most brutal injury updates right now.

Tyrese Maxey, who showed up on the injury report Tuesday night with a hand sprain, and Paul George, who has played in just 27 games this season, are also banged up, culminating in a much easier matchup for the Knicks than one would’ve thought months ago.

The New York Knicks look to maintain their dominance over the Philadelphia 76ers when they meet again on Wednesday.

Joel Embiid is one of the top players in the NBA… when he is healthy and actually plays. The issue with Embiid as that there haven't been a lot consistent periods when he is playing in every game. Former New York Knicks GM Scott Perry thinks that the 76ers should be exploring trade options for Embiid because of that.

Counting last year's two big individual performances, this date has been a day when larger-than-life moments happen in the NBA.
