76ers Face Trail Blazers With Key Players Questionable

The Philadelphia 76ers are facing a challenging matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday night, looking to build on their recent victory over the Golden State Warriors. Key players Joel Embiid, Eric Gordon, and Jared McCain are out for the season, and both Kelly Oubre Jr. and Paul George are listed as questionable due to illness and groin soreness, respectively. Oubre, who has been a consistent performer this season, has played in all but three games and averaged 17 points per game. George, who has also been impactful when healthy, scored 17 points in his last game but is uncertain for Monday. The team is navigating a tough injury landscape as they aim for their second consecutive win before heading to face the Minnesota Timberwolves. The game against the Blazers is scheduled for a 7 PM ET tip-off.
