Cleveland Cavaliers vs Philadelphia 76ers predicted starting lineups and depth chart for Nov. 13 | 2024-25 NBA Season
The Cleveland Cavaliers will hit the road to take on the Philadelphia 76ers at Wells Fargo Canter on Wednesday. So far, the Cavaliers are off to a perfect start this season, remaining undefeated with a 12-0 record.
In contrast, the 76ers are not in the greatest situation right now. They've lost eight of their first ten matchups, and their superstar big man, Joel Embiid, was out of action for the opening weeks and only returned on Tuesday against the NY Knicks.
Sixers' offseason blockbuster acquisition Paul George also missed the season's first five games due to an injury, leaving Philadelphia undermanned for much of the early stretch.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Philadelphia 76ers Injury reports for Nov. 13
Cleveland Cavaliers injury report
The Cavs are down two men entering the matchup against the Sixers on Wednesday. As per ESPN, Max Strus and Emoni Bates are listed out from the game. Strus suffered an ankle sprain during a workout on Thursday and is expected to be out for at least six weeks. Bates on the other hand underwent surgery last Wednesday to repair his torn meniscus in his right knee. The injury will keep him out indefinitely until further notice.
Sam Merrill and Jarret Allen are also listed as day-to-day and their participation will depend on their medical condition and the coach's decision before the game. Merrill is dealing with soreness in his left ankle while Allen is battling a strain in his left lower leg.
Philadelphia 76ers injury report
The Sixers will be welcoming with a healthy roster with only one man down. However, the injured Tyrese Maxey is a core player for the franchise and his absence would hurt the squad. Maxey carried the team during George and Embiid's absence in the first six games.
As per ESPN, Maxey is dealing with a right hamstring strain and will be re-evaluated in a week.
