Paul George eager for Sixers to have Joel Embiid return vs. Knicks

PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia 76ers are sitting at 2-7 following a 107-105 overtime win over the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday night at home. The Sixers received a big effort out of rookie Jared McCain who had 27 points, 23 after halftime, in order to come up with the win.

With that being said, the Sixers can now look ahead to the return of Joel Embiid.

The Sixers will begin NBA Cup group play on Tuesday when they play host to the New York Knicks and it means the big fella is set to make his season debut.
