Thursday night marks the NBA<\/a>\u2019s return from the All-Star break. The Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> will host the Atlanta Hawks, and they\u2019ll be shorthanded, missing several key players.<\/p>\n

Despite getting plenty of time off, the Sixers\u2019 center Joel Embiid<\/a> is still dealing with a setback. Following a Wednesday practice session, it was revealed that Embiid suffered another minor setback. As a result, the star big man will continue his trend of missing matchups.<\/p>\n

Embiid won\u2019t be the only player out for the 76ers on Thursday. The veteran forward Paul George will continue serving his suspension. The star forward was last seen on January 29 against the Sacramento Kings. He\u2019s been suspended throughout the entire month of February. George won\u2019t be eligible to take the floor again until late March.<\/p>\n
