Questionable to play Sunday
The 76ers and Raptors play in back-to-back games in Toronto on Sunday and Monday. Embiid will likely sit out of one of those games while managing a left knee injury, in which case Andre Drummond would be the top candidate to enter the 76ers' starting five. Embiid has played in each of the 76ers' last six games, and over that span he has averaged 27.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.2 blocks over 33.7 minutes per game.

Removed from rotation Friday
After averaging 17.8 minutes per game while appearing in each of the previous 10 contests, Bona looked to have moved ahead of Andre Drummond on the depth chart at center. However, head coach Nick Nurse ended up reversing course Friday, turning to Drummond as the sole backup option to starter Joel Embiid while Bona didn't get off the bench. Nurse has shown a willingness to occasionally use Bona alongside Embiid at times, but with Trendon Watford and Kelly Oubre recently returning from injury, the 76ers could be less inclined to deploy Bona at power forward in future contests.

Productive in Friday's win
It was the second time in 20 games this season that George recorded multiple steals and blocks in the same contest. The veteran forward has scored in double digits in 13 of 15 games since the beginning of December, averaging 16.6 points, 5.7 boards, 3.5 assists, 2.7 threes and 1.2 steals over that span.
