Joel Embiid (knee) doubtful for 76ers on Wednesday
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid is considered doubtful to play Wednesday in the team's game against the Washington Wizards.
What It Means:
Embiid left Game 4 early due to a knee ailment and didn't return, leading to the Wizards extending the series. And now, it seems as though he'll be held out of Game 5 as well. Should Embiid sit, look for Dwight Howard to be elevated to a starting role. Seth Curry and George Hill are listed as probable.
In 51 games this season, Embiid averaged 28.5 points, 10.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.4 blocks and 48.5 FanDuel points.
