As the Philadelphia 76ers prepare for the Orlando Magic on Tuesday night, they will once again be short-handed. While the Sixers will have MVP candidate Tyrese Maxey out on the floor, they will continue to miss the other two-thirds of the Big 3.
Joel Embiid, who was upgraded to questionable for this contest against the Magic, has been downgraded to out due to right knee injury management. This will be his eighth straight game missed as he has not played since Nov. 8 against the Toronto Raptors.

The Sixers will need to continue searching for ways to win games with Embiid and George sidelined with Philadelphia sitting at 9-7 to start the season. Obviously, there is a ton of time left in the regular season, but the Sixers can't afford to lose ground to try and make it up later in the season.
Tip off between the Sixers and the Magic is set for 8 p.m. EST on Tuesday.
