Joel Embiid (ankle) returning to 76ers' lineup Wednesday versus Raptors
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (left ankle) will return to the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Toronto Raptors.
Embiid was held out of Tuesday's matchup after injuring his ankle on Sunday. His return will likely send Kyle O'Quinn back to the second unit. Mike Scott and Shake Milton also should see reduced roles. Embiid will be leaned on heavily for the 76ers the rest of the way following Ben Simmons' season-ending knee surgery. Tobias Harris (ankle), Josh Richardson (rest), and Al Horford (knee) will also return on Wednesday.
Embiid averaged 55.6 FanDuel points over his first four games in the bubble before leaving early on Sunday. Per RotoGrinders, Embiid has averaged 1.6 FanDuel points per minute this season without Simmons on the floor.
