Joel Embiid (back) now questionable Wednesday for 76ers
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) is now questionable to play on Wednesday versus the Cleveland Cavaliers.
What It Means:
Embiid is a new addition to the injury report, so he might wind up being a game-time call on Wednesday. The 76ers aren't on a back-to-back, but Embiid has played in 17 straight games and it might be time for some scheduled maintenance. DeAndre Jordan, Paul Millsap, and Paul Reed will be able to see additional playing time versus the Cavaliers, while James Harden, Tobias Harris, and Tyrese Maxey should benefit from additional opportunities on offense.
numberFire’s models project Embiid for 35.8 minutes and 53.6 FanDuel points, and he has a $10,900 salary on Wednesday’s 12-game slate.
