The Philadelphia 76ers host the Los Angeles Clippers at Wells Fargo Center on Monday with key frontcourt injuries shaping their rotation.

Philadelphia enters 7-5 after 12 games, highlighted by a 102-100 win over the Celtics and a 105-114 loss to the Pistons.

Joel Embiid remains sidelined for right knee injury management, while Adem Bona is out with a right ankle sprain. Paul George is listed as questionable following left knee surgery, and Kelly Oubre Jr. will miss the contest with a left knee sprain, reducing perimeter depth.

Jared McCain returns despite recovering from right thumb surgery, forcing bench forwards to log heavier minutes to help protect the paint.

Tyrese Maxey leads the team with 32.0 points per game and 7.8 assists, while Andre Drummond averages 8.8 rebounds. Quentin Grimes contributes 16.6 points, and V.J. Edgecombe adds 15.6 points alongside 5.7 rebounds.

The Clippers are yet to submit their injury report, though Bradley Beal will miss the game following season-ending hip surgery.

Los Angeles counters with James Harden averaging 26.0 points and 9.0 assists, while Ivica Zubac contributes 16.2 points and 10.6 rebounds. Kawhi Leonard adds 24.3 points in six appearances, and John Collins provides 12.0 points and 4.6 rebounds off the bench.
