Will Joel Embiid play on Wednesday against the Rockets?
For Philly, the game will mark the third-straight matchup they are going to be without the seven-time All-Star center, Joel Embiid. The team announced on Tuesday afternoon that Embiid continues to manage the knee injury he suffered a season ago.
In that matchup, Embiid was finally looking like the MVP version of himself. Playing for 35 minutes, the veteran center made 48 percent of his shots from the field and went 14-14 from the free-throw line to produce 35 points. He had a double-double with 11 rebounds on the stat sheet. An evaluation last Friday night led the Sixers to decide to hold out Embiid for the next two games at minimum. Without the big man, the Sixers snapped a five-game losing streak by collecting a 15-point win over the Nets.
