Joel Embiid Ruled Out For Game 1
2 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) has been ruled out for Game 1 against the Boston Celtics on Monday. As expected, the superstar big man is unable to play due to a sprained right LCL. His absence will mean that Paul Reed moves into the starting five for this game. It's worth noting that Reed grabbed 15 rebounds in Game 4 versus the Brooklyn Nets. However, the absence of Embiid is obviously a significant hit to this Sixers roster. Tobias Harris, James Harden, and Tyrese Maxey will all be asked to pick up the slack with Embiid out.
