76ers' Joel Embiid (face) still not cleared for full contact
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid has not yet been cleared to fully participate in practice, according to Philly.com's Keith Pompey.
Embiid has been out with a fractured orbital bone near his left eye, and has yet to take on full contact in practice. Coach Brett Brown hinted that he wouldn't be able to play until then, so his chance of suiting up for Game 2 are looking slimmer than they were a day ago. With what's looking like a Game 3 return, Embiid's absence will allow Ersan Ilyasova and Amir Johnson to get more minutes until he's back to full health.
If Embiid's able to play against the Miami Heat in Game 2, we project him for 30.7 minutes and 43.4 FanDuel points.
