Embiid's Return Lifts Sixers for Celtics Showdown
11 Nov, 2025
Summary
- Joel Embiid cleared to play against Celtics after missing previous game
- Paul George still out with knee injury, no timeline for his return
- Sixers hold above .500 record despite Embiid and George absences
As of November 11th, 2025, the Philadelphia 76ers are set to face off against the Boston Celtics in a highly anticipated regular-season matchup. The Sixers have received a significant boost ahead of the game, as their star center Joel Embiid has been cleared to suit up after missing the previous contest against the Detroit Pistons.
Embiid had been rested in the Pistons game due to a knee injury management, but he is now expected to play between 25 to 30 minutes against the Celtics. This is a crucial development for the Sixers, who have been able to maintain an above .500 record despite Embiid's absence and the ongoing injury woes of Paul George.
Unfortunately, the former LA Clippers star George will not be making his comeback on Tuesday, as he is once again listed as "out" due to a left knee injury. There is still no timeline for George's return, even though he has been a full participant in team practices recently.
The Sixers' depth has been tested, but players like Tyrese Maxey, Kelly Oubre Jr., and rookie V.J. Edgecombe have stepped up to keep the team competitive. As a result, Philadelphia currently holds the seventh spot in the Eastern Conference standings with a 6-4 record.
