The Philadelphia 76ers (13-10) will look to get back in the win column after losing a close contest to the Los Angeles Lakers (17-7) on Sunday.
Philadelphia will take on a struggling Indiana Pacers (6-18) team at home in what will be their first game of the week.
In the 76ers' initial injury report for the game, Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and multiple other players are included on the list of players battling setbacks.
Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey listed as probable for Dec. 11 vs. Pacers
The Philadelphia 76ers reported that Joel Embiid (knee) and Tyrese Maxey (illness) are probable, Jared McCain (thumb) will be available, and Kelly Oubre Jr. (Knee), Hunter Sallis (shoulder), and Trendon Watford (adductor) will all miss the contest.
Embiid, 31, will be in line to play in his second straight game for the first time this season. The five-day break between games could have played a role in this move; his designation is a positive sign.
Maxey, 25, came up with a sickness that seems to be a consistent pattern throughout the NBA. The extended break in between games was beneficial, and he's expected to be available on Friday.
Meanwhile, Kelly Oubre Jr. Will miss his 12th straight game after a knee sprain on Nov. 14.
Hunter Sallis will miss his fourth straight with a shoulder strain, and Trendon Watford will miss his seventh while recovering from a left adductor sprain.
It's worth noting that Paul George isn't listed on the report. The 76ers will most likely have their big three (Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and Paul George) for just the third time this season.
