After missing the All-Star duo of Joel Embiid and Paul George on Wednesday night against the Washington Wizards, the Philadelphia 76ers are likely to get health

The New Orleans Pelicans head to Wells Fargo Center to face the Philadelphia 76ers in a non-conference matchup. The Pelicans are 7-31, which puts them in last place in the Western Conference. The Sixers are 15-20, which puts them in 11th place in the Eastern Conference.

This week, the Philadelphia 76ers weren’t certain about Paul George’s playing status at times. After George competed against the Phoenix Suns for nearly 38 minutes on January 6, the Sixers ruled out George for Wednesday’s game against the Washington Wizards.

The Philadelphia 76ers will play the New Orleans Pelicans for the first time this season in a Friday night showdown at the Wells Fargo Center. Joel Embiid remains sidelined for the Sixers, though the team’s other veteran star aims to return from injury very soon.
