Embiid, who is averaging 24.4 points and 7.9 rebounds, has already been ruled out against the Kings. George, who averages 17.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.7 steals, is day-to-day with an extensor tendon injury in his left pinkie finger.

Sacramento lost, 117-104, at the Wells Fargo Center, against a 76ers team missing former MVP Joel Embiid and All-Star Paul George, and that was also playing on the back end of a back-to-back.

The Sacramento Kings will face a severely short-handed Philadelphia 76ers squad on Wednesday after Philadelphia released a lengthy injury report.

The 76ers are heading into the second leg of a back-to-back, as they handily beat the Los Angeles Lakers at home on Tuesday night. Star guard Tyrese Maxey dominated with 43 points with co-stars Paul George and Joel Embiid sidelined.

Tyrese Maxey scored 30 points to lead the Philadelphia 76ers past the Sacramento Kings 117-104 for their fourth straight victory.

Fox is the new name on the market after sending signals he doesn't want to commit long term to the Kings. Meanwhile, Butler remains suspended as the Heat decide his future.

De’Aaron Fox confirmed Wednesday what became public Tuesday. The Sacramento Kings guard validated reports the team was fielding calls and trade offers for the former All-Star, and indicated he wouldn’t be surprised if he were moved ahead of the Feb. 6 trade deadline.

The NBA trade deadline draws closer by the day, and as always, the transaction cycle remains headlined by the same small group of players. On Monday, the Miami Heat suspended Jimmy Butler indefinitely after he walked out of a shootaround upon receiving the news that he would be benched.

The Magic need perimeter scoring. They're on track to be the worst three-point shooting team in more than a decade and their offensive rating has been stuck in the NBA's bottom third since 2011-12. Complementing Banchero, Wagner and Suggs now could further open Orlando's window of contention.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Karl-Anthony Towns had already been named All-Star Game starters before the reserves were revealed Thursday night.
