Given his probable designation on the injury report, it seems more likely than not that George will be able to suit up against the Bucks on Tuesday night. George has been in and out of the lineup all year for the 76ers, but has been making more appearances in the lineup recently as the season wears on.
Meanwhile, Embiid has not been available as often as some 76ers fans were hoping coming into this year, but he has been able to ramp up the production in recent weeks when he has been on the floor.
