Joel Embiid (back) not on 76ers' Wednesday injury report

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid is not on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets.

What It Means:

76ers head coach Doc Rivers said Tuesday that he expects Embiid to play after sitting out last game. Tony Bradley will return to the bench with Embiid active and Dwight Howard will not be needed as much. In two games against Charlotte last month, Embiid averaged 16.5 points, 12.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.5 steals, and 2.0 blocks.

numberFire’s models project Embiid for 49.4 FanDuel points versus the Hornets and he has a salary of $10,200 on Wednesday’s 10-game slate. Embiid averaged 45.0 FanDuel points in those two previous games against the Hornets this season.
