South Philly was surprised by the sudden absence of Paul George on Tuesday night. The Philadelphia 76ers ruled out the nine-time NBA All-Star roughly 30 minutes

Joel Embiid will not play in the 76ers' matchup vs. the Knicks. Tyrese Maxey and Paul George, however, could return from injury.

In the aftermath of the 76ers' loss to the Pelicans on Friday, star swingman Paul George opened up on his time playing center for the team. In a blunt response, George admitted that he was "bored" in the role and hinted at a desire to stick to his natural position at small forward.

We Paid for This?” Joel Embiid, out again. Paul George, not tonight. Tyrese Maxey, sorry, hurt hand. Kyle Lowry, Caleb Martin, KJ Martin, Andre Drummond and Jared McCain — all starters or key role players at some point this season — did not play for the Sixers in Tuesday’s game against Oklahoma City.

Tyrese Maxey and Paul George were late additions to the injury report for the 76ers' matchup with the Thunder.

It's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder against the shorthanded Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night at Wells Fargo Center.
