But, they’ll continue to be without their star center for the contest, which makes matters more difficult.<\/p>\n

Joel Embiid ruled out vs. Grizzlies due to right oblique strain<\/p>\n

Joel Embiid has been ruled out against the Grizzlies due to a right oblique strain. It will be the sixth straight game missed by Embiid, who has appeared in just 33 games on the season for Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

In those games, Embiid has averaged 26.6 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.1 blocks per performance.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia will also be without star guard Tyrese Maxey against Memphis, as Maxey is sidelined due to a finger sprain<\/a>. Paul George also remains ineligible to play due to suspension.<\/p>\n

Without their three stars, pulling out a victory over Memphis could prove difficult for the Sixers, who enter the game eighth in the standings in the Eastern Conference. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies are 11th in the West.<\/p>\n

It will be the second and final meeting of the season between Philadelphia and Memphis. The Sixers pulled out an overtime victory over the Grizzlies in the first meeting in December.<\/p>\n
