CAMDEN, N.J. -- Joel Embiid and Paul George will each miss a fifth straight game with left knee injuries when the Philadelphia 76ers host Memphis on Saturday night.

The oft-injured Embiid has yet to play this season, though he was a full participant at Friday's practice, including in 5-on-5 scrimmages. George, who has yet to play this season with a bone bruise on his left knee, also participated in the full practice and scrimmaged with the Sixers.

Embiid skipped the entire preseason and has not played any basketball that matters since he helped Team USA win gold in the Paris Olympics.
