What It Means:

Embiid was also limited at Monday's practice, but there hasn't been any word of an injury and the 76ers aren't on a back-to-back set. Nevertheless, he won't play again until Thursday against the Sacramento Kings. Look for Richaun Holmes and Amir Johnson to benefit from Embiid's absence while Jahlil Okafor could get a chance to showcase his trade value.

Embiid is averaging 42.0 FanDuel points per game this season. Without yet accounting for Tuesday's absence, numberFire's models project him for 20.4 points, 9.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 steals, 2.9 blocks, 1.1 3-pointers, and 3.1 turnovers in 29.7 minutes per game over the remainder of the year.
