Paul George

With Joel Embiid (foot) and Paul George (groin) both out Sunday, it was no surprise that Maxey took it upon himself to lead the 76ers' offense. Maxey had 37 points on 28 shots including going 6-of-15 from behind the 3-point line. The 24-year-old point guard probably would've been better off driving the lane or creating offense for others than continuing to hoist 3-pointers. In the end, the Sixers ended up losing by 14, though Maxey was just -5 in 41 minutes.

George (groin) is out for Sunday's game against the Bucks, Ky Carlin of USA Today reports.

George is set to miss both ends of the 76ers' back-to-back Saturday and Sunday. Tyrese Maxey should lead the Philadelphia offense once again with Joel Embiid (foot) also out. Ricky Council IV and Kelly Oubre Jr. will see more minutes with George unavailable.

George sat out Saturday against Indiana due to the groin injury, and he's in danger of missing the second leg of the back-to-back set. With both he and Joel Embiid sidelined Saturday, Tyrese Maxey led the offense with 28 points, while Ricky Council IV and Kelly Oubre Jr. chipped in with 18 apiece. Expect Council IV and Oubre Jr. to see increased run if George is sidelined against the Bucks.

George (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks.
