The Philadelphia 76ers face a tough NBA Cup test tonight as Joel Embiid and Paul George were ruled out against the Orlando Magic at Wells Fargo Center. Joel Embiid will miss his eighth straight game due to a knee injury, while Paul George sits with an ankle issue, leaving Philadelphia without two stars in a high-stakes matchup. Tyrese Maxey steps into the lead role once again, and the 76ers will lean on a mix of young contributors and rotational pieces as Nick Nurse searches for ways to keep pace with the Magic's aggressive style. The Magic come in fast, confident, and ready to attack the paint, putting pressure on a shorthanded 76ers squad.
