Joel Embiid (knee) will not suit up for Philadelphia on Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) will not suit up against the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday.

What It Means:

This doesn't come as a huge surprise, as Embiid didn't even travel with the team on Wednesday night. Look for Jahlil Okafor to draw another start while he and Nerlens Noel should both see increased minutes again.

Our models have Noel as the superior fantasy option in the frontcourt tonight. We project him for 9.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 blocks in 22.1 minutes of action.
