CAMDEN, N.J. -- The season debuts for Joel Embiid and Paul George remain on hold for the Philadelphia 76ers as both players will miss Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons with knee injuries.

Embiid and George participated in portions of Tuesday's practice and their playing status will be reassessed later in the week.

Sixers coach Nick Nurse declined to elaborate on their health and potential timeline to return to the lineup.

"We want these guys to play and we want them to be healthy and we want them to play great and we want them to play great all season," Nurse said Tuesday.
