Tyrese Maxey returned from a hamstring injury to join Joel Embiid, who has played in only four games, and Paul George, who has appeared in eight. All three took their place in Philadelphia's starting lineup for the first time this season against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George has a bone bruise on his left knee and will miss two games, the team said Thursday.The 76ers said George did not suffer any structural damage when he injured the same knee that he hyperextended during the preseason in Wednesday night's loss at Memphis.

Philadelphia 76ers fans finally witnessed Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Paul George share the court as teammates, but the elation was short-lived, as a knee injury forced George to exit early during the loss.
