New Orleans Pelicans<\/a> as they look to right the ship. The Sixers have lost three in a row and will be looking to take advantage of the lowly Pelicans to begin this 3-game trip–and the first night of a back-to-back.<\/p>\nThe Sixers will continue to miss Paul George (league suspension) as he serves the ninth of his 25-game suspension for violating the league’s anti-drug policy. The Sixers continue to miss his presence on both ends of the floor.<\/p>\n
As for Joel Embiid (right knee injury management, right shin soreness), he is listed as out. The 3-game losing skid the Sixers are on at the moment has coincided with him missing the previous three games. As he is set to miss his fourth-straight game, Philadelphia will have to find a way to earn a much-needed win without the big fella.<\/p>\n
The Sixers and the Pelicans will tip off at 7 p.m. EST from the Smoothie King Center down in New Orleans on Saturday.<\/p>\n
