Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey are both listed as probable for the Sixers' game against the Pacers on Friday, a welcome boost to Philadelphia's injury-ridden roster.
Embiid has been dealing with a left knee injury that has hindered his performance in recent games, including their loss to the Lakers last Sunday. Despite this setback, Embiid hopes to make his next breakthrough in his rehabilitation plan by playing consecutive games within a short span. However, it remains to be seen whether he will be able to do so without suffering any setbacks.
Maxey has led the team in minutes played and is the only member of the Sixers to have appeared in every game this season. He has been on the injury report twice before but managed to stay healthy.
On the other hand, Kelly Oubre Jr. and Trendon Watford are still out of action due to left knee sprains. Oubre's re-evaluation date was set for Thursday, while Watford is scheduled to have another assessment on Wednesday. Both players were unable to participate in live practice sessions with coach Nick Nurse stating that they cannot currently engage in on-court activity.
Hunter Sallis, the rookie two-way guard, is also out due to a right shoulder sprain.

it's been super tough for the sixers with all these injuries but having these two back will definitely boost our chances of winning 
anyway, i feel bad for kelly oubre jr. he's been out for like 2 games already and i hope he recovers soon 
fingers crossed for him to be back on the court soon too 
but i'm still a bit skeptical about these guys making it through consecutive games without any issues...embiid's been dealing with that left knee injury for ages and maxey's already had two instances of being on the injury report 
what's to say this time won't be another false alarm? also, kelly oubre jr. is still out and that's a big concern since he was supposed to be one of our top guys this season 
. Can't have Embiid and Maxey taking a step forward only to take two steps back again 
.
, I'm so stoked to see Embiid and Maxey back in the lineup! 
. And poor Kelly Oubre Jr.! Hopefully he'll be back on the court soon, but fingers crossed it won't be another setback for him 
... yeah, we all know he's not exactly the most durable player on the court... And Hunter Sallis' shoulder injury is just another thing for him to deal with 
. Fingers crossed he recovers soon!
. And poor Hunter Sallis... I feel bad for him - a shoulder sprain is no joke!
