Joel Embiid Resting On Wednesday Evening
35 seconds agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee, injury management) won't play on Wednesday against Miami. The 2023 NBA MVP was sidelined for a month before returning for Tuesday's 118-116 win over the Dallas Mavericks. He played extremely well, amassing a 29-point, 11-rebound, 10 assist triple-double. Barring a setback, Embiid should be back on the floor on Friday versus the Detroit Pistons. But with Andre Drummond (toe) uncertain to suit up on Wednesday, Guerschon Yabusele, averaging 11.8 points and 6.6 rebounds in 25 starts this season, will fill the spot in the rotation. Tyrese Maxey could also see a surge in production, especially with Paul George (finger) not expected to play.
