The Philadelphia 76ers announced that Joel Embiid and Paul George will both miss Wednesday's season opener against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Embiid, who didn't play in the preseason, will miss not just Wednesday's game but also Friday's game in Toronto and Sunday's game in Indiana, despite the team saying he is «responding well to his individualized plan» and will ramp up his return-to-play activities this week, including going through scrimmages.

George will be reevaluated later this week after he suffered a hyperextended left knee that left him with a bone bruise Oct.

14 against the Atlanta Hawks. The other injured 76ers player at the moment, rookie Jared McCain, will have his status for Wednesday's game updated later Tuesday after he suffered a pulmonary contusion in a rough fall last week against the Brooklyn Nets.
