Because of injuries to both players, the two All-Stars have played together in only 12 of the Sixers’ 33 games. On Saturday, Embiid finished with game highs of 28 points and 12 rebounds in just three quarters of action. George, who also sat out the fourth quarter, added 17 points, six assists, and two steals.

Sixers center Joel Embiid is questionable for Monday night's game against the Phoenix Suns as he continues to deal with a left foot sprain, according to the team's initial injury report released on Sunday afternoon.

Embiid scored a season-high 37 points on Monday in Portland, and the way he got those points was the most encouraging sign.
