Magic-Sixers Injury Report: Bitadze Questionable; Embiid, George Status Up in Air

The Orlando Magic and Philadelphia 76ers are set to square off Wednesday night, with each team on the second night of a back-to-back. Tipoff is at 7:30 p.m. ET inside Wells Fargo Center.

Orlando got decimated by the New York Knicks Tuesday night in the NBA Cup, losing 121-106. Franz Wagner scored 30 points for the Magic, but as a team, they didn't have an answer for the Knicks' offensive firepower.

Philadelphia defeated the Charlotte Hornets Tuesday night 110-104.

The Magic are 15-8 and the Sixers are 5-14.

Here's the latest on player health and status for the game Wednesday night.

Orlando Magic Injury Report

• Paolo Banchero: OUT (torn right oblique)
• Gary Harris: OUT (left hamstring strain)
• Goga Bitadze: Questionable (right ankle sprain)

Banchero will miss his 19th straight game with the torn right oblique suffered Oct. 30 at Chicago.

Harris will miss his fifth straight game with a left hamstring strain he suffered Nov. 25 at Charlotte.

After being announced as the starting center Tuesday night in New York, Bitadze was a late scratch with a right ankle sprain that coach Jamahl Mosley said the center suffered during his pregame shooting slot. Bitadze previously missed time this season with a left foot tendon strain.

Philadelphia 76ers Injury Report

• Not yet submitted.

The Sixers' injury report is not yet reported. They have until 1 p.m. ET to submit their report because they are on the second night of a back-to-back, per the NBA's injury reporting policy.

Philadelphia coach Nick Nurse said postgame Tuesday that Joel Embiid and Paul George's status are both up in air due to the second night of a back-to-back.

Nurse said he didn't expect Embiid to play, although he wasn't certain. George will be evaluated as well, the coach said.
