Joel Embiid (knee) will miss 76ers' next four games
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (left knee) is expected to miss the team's next four games, following the recommendation of the team's doctors.
Embiid was able to get through a full practice session, but per usual, the 76ers are going to take a conservative approach. The budding star admitted to experiencing some swelling on Thursday morning, which obviously isn't the best sign. There's no guarantee Embiid will be available after this four-game stretch, but if he can return, it would put him back on the floor March 3 against the New York Knicks.
Embiid has been terrific through his first 31 NBA games, averaging 20.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.9 steals, 2.5 blocks and 1.2 3-pointers per contest. He is also tied for 100th in the NBA and ranks second among Sixers players with a 0.8 nERD on the year.
