Here is the official status of Philadelphia 76ers forwards Paul George and Guerschon Yabusele against the Indiana Pacers on Saturday.

Uncertain for Tuesday

Joel Embiid's ongoing knee issues should alter the Sixers' strategy heading into the NBA trade deadline, as they now have far less incentive to make a win-now move.

The news arrived after Embiid missed the previous six games because of a sprained left foot. The seven-time All-Star has only played 13 games this season because of the sprained foot, knee swelling, left knee management, a right sinus fracture, and a three-game suspension.

Joel Embiid has played in just 13 games this season due to an assortment of injuries. That was set to change this weekend, he’d missed Philadelphia’s last six games with a sprained foot but was going through workouts with the team to prepare for a return to the court.

Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid, who has missed the last six games with a sprained left foot and has appeared in only 13 of the team's 39 games this season, will be sidelined for at least another week,

Guerschon Yabusele is a terrific offensive rebounder, but he's found a niche within that to generate extra possessions.

It’s the latest setback for Embiid, the often brilliant and frequently injured star whose games played total will remain stuck on 13 this unlucky season as the team heads for three challenging road games. It comes with the Sixers having lost four straight games and seven of nine ahead of a trip to play three teams in playoff position.

Embiid and Drummond will both miss their fifth consecutive game with a sprained left foot and sprained left toe, respectively.

With Joel Embiid once again struggling to get on the court, the Philadelphia 76ers need to start preparing for the worst, which could mean an unusual trade.

The Philadelphia 76ers will look to get back in the win column on Tuesday when they play host to the Western Conference's No. 1 team, the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Sixers are sitting at 15-22 and need a win in the worst way possible.

As the Sixers look to bounce back on Sunday against the Magic, they have listed Embiid has questionable due to the issue. When considering the fact that he has had some time to rest the foot, one has to believe that he will be ready to go barring any setbacks on Sunday evening.
