Matisse Thybulle To Remain Out On Monday

Philadelphia 76ers small forward Matisse Thybulle will remain out for Monday's game against the New York Knicks due to health and safety protocols.

Joel Embiid Likely To Play Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee), listed as questionable, plans to play in Thursday's game against the Pistons. Embiid generally sits out one-half of the 76ers' back-to-backs when dealing with an injury but reportedly appears likely to tough this one out against a bad Pistons team. Perhaps it speaks to his knee feeling better, which […]
