Here are the final status updates for Philadelphia 76ers star Paul George and others against the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday.
Here is the full injury report for Paul George and the Philadelphia 76ers as they take on the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday to finish the road trip.
The 3-time MVP filled up the stat sheet, totaling 27 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists to secure his team’s 27th win of the season.
Nuggets star Nikola Jokic recorded his 19th triple-double of the season with 27 points, 13 rebounds, and 11 assists. Tyrese Maxey lead all scorers with 28.
Nikola Jokic had 27 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists for his 19th triple-double of the season, Aaron Gordon was nearly perfect from the floor and the Denver Nuggets beat Philadelphia 144-109, extending the 76ers' losing streak to seven games.
The Denver Nuggets and the Philadelphia 76ers squared off in Denver on Tuesday night in a rivalry game, but one part of the rivalry was missing. 76ers star Joel Embiid missed this game due to his knee injury that he has been managing throughout the season, so Nikola Jokic was the only superstar big man on the floor.
Jokic hardly broke a sweat in tallying 27 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists, as the Nuggets trampled the Philadelphia 76ers, 144-109, at Ball Arena on Tuesday. They improved to 27-16, including 8-2 in their last 10 games.
For the game, the 76ers could be without one of their best players, as Paul George is on the injury report. George has missed each of the previous two games, so this would be his third straight out of action (if he doesn't play).
The last time Embiid played in Denver, Tom Brady was still the Patriots’ quarterback and the United Kingdom was still part of the European Union. Nuggets coach Michael Malone, who played part of his high school career at Seton Hall Prep, underscored how Jokic’s availability compared to Embiid’s.
Despite having three players on their roster making $35 million or more and a group of solid role players, the Philadelphia 76ers have been having a disastrous season. Factor in first-round pick Jared McCain being sidelined for the remainder of the season,
