Joel Embiid (back) ruled out Monday for 76ers against Heat
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) has been ruled out for Monday versus the Miami Heat.
What It Means:
The 76ers are presumably giving Embiid a breather on the second leg of a back-to-back set. DeAndre Jordan will likely start at center on Monday and Paul Millsap should see more minutes off the bench. There will also be more shots available for James Harden, as well as Tyrese Maxey and Tobias Harris.
DeAndre is now numberFire's second-best point-per-dollar value on Monday's nine-game slate, while Maxey is fourth and Tobi is fifth.
